You could try using the op-atom muxer as it looks like your command is
defaulting to op1a. Add -f  mxf_opatom to your command line.
ffmpeg -i
/Users/krueger/lesspain/samples/software/compressor/compressor4_1080_25p_apple_devices_best_compat_2s.m4v
-vn -c:a pcm_s16le -f mxf_opatom ~/tmp/ffmpeg_pcm16_rewrap.mxf

It looks like it. The reasons why I suggested trying OP-Atom is that
this seems to be performing a specific check for OP1a.

Best,
