Yes one of the channels will get lost because demuxers create pads for
each media channel inside the stream, so your pipeline only linked one
of these pads.

Try:

gst-launch-0.10 avimux name=mux ! filesink location=out.avi filesrc
location=in.mkv ! matroskademux name=d ! queue ! mux. d. ! queue !
mux.
