This is a problem with x264 as far as I can tell; I've been getting it for
a few months now.  My workaround is to just delete the offending line and
those below it -- in your example, the last three lines:

>in:81519 out:81516 type:P q:10.00 tex:398 mv:191 misc:307 imb:27 pmb:2
>smb:1423 d:-;
>in:81517 out:81517 type:B q:11.14 tex:236 mv:26 misc:258 imb:0 pmb:20 smb:1432
>d:-;
>in:81516 out:81518 type:b q:12.17 tex:100 mv:17 misc:211 imb:0 pmb:9 smb:1443
>d:-;

You'll get a warning about "more frames in pass 2 than pass 1", but since
it only affects those three frames it shouldn't be a big deal.
