Let's quote the sources here:

   /* We could return -1, but the codec would crash trying to draw into a
     * non-existing frame anyway. This is safer than waiting for a random
crash.
     * Also the return of this is never useful, an encoder must only allocate
     * as much as allowed in the specification. This has no relationship to how
     * much libavcodec could allocate (and MAX_PICTURE_COUNT is always large
     * enough for such valid streams).
     * Plus, a decoder has to check stream validity and remove frames if too
     * many reference frames are around. Waiting for "OOM" is not correct at
     * all. Similarly, missing reference frames have to be replaced by
     * interpolated/MC frames, anything else is a bug in the codec ...
     */


If anything this is a bug in ffmpeg or in the file you're using. Could you file
this bug against ffmpeg at https://roundup.ffmpeg.org ?
