Problem with ffmpeg or the source?

When I downloaded get_iplayer it installed version r25557 of ffmpeg.
A while back I noticed that this started to output an error during its
processing:
"brainfart cropping not supported, this could look slightly wrong ..."
(although the output would still be ok)
So on 6th Dec I started using later builds of ffmpeg downloaded from
http://ffmpeg.arrozcru.org/ and the error went away
However I noticed yesterday that there is an odd shift in the mp4 output.
In this example, the HD version of ep 7 of Simple Suppers (b00wqb9p).
As you can see from the grabs (linked below) there is a green and pink
strip across the top and a "shadow"
I have tried all of my downloaded versions of ffmpeg - r25895 (6/12)
through to r26041 (today) and they all output like this.
I have grabs from the original flv, the r25557 remux and the r26041 remux.
What can be causing this? Is it ffmpeg or is it a dodgy encode on the server?
I have re-downloaded the HD version and the vhigh version.
The vhigh version remuxed using r26041 is fine
