Comment (by gerhard_s):

 Unfortunately, it is.

 It seems to trigger this piece of code in avcodec/h264.c:
     if(h->slice_num >= MAX_SLICES){
         av_log(s->avctx, AV_LOG_ERROR, "Too many slices, increase
 MAX_SLICES and recompile\n");
     }
 the result of which is a crash (log level = AV_LOG_ERROR).
