I am no expert ... so maybe someone else will provide you with better
guidance.  But I am guessing that the bug is in this code:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer-vaapi

You can file a new issue in gitlab (giving full repro steps), and your
issue will probably be triaged by the best expert in that area.  You may
receive better guidance at that time.
