I am having a hard time seeing from this report what the problem is.
What API is at fault here? can you provide a minimal example program
that demonstrates what the problem is?

In any case, this needs to be discussed with upstream. Can you please
file a bug in the libav bugzilla? It would be much more efficient and
probably effective if you would interact without me acting as a proxy.

Thanks.
