This will create an invalid mp4 file since you just terminated the
pipeline without EOSing properly, so it doesn't have a chance to write
the final file headers correctly.

However, given an invalid file, I'd expect it to error out - does it
do so if you use decodebin or decodebin2?

If not, sounds like a bug, you should file a bug report.
