I had similar issues in the past but patch was quite different.
Also I had Fedora 28, now I have Fedora 29, which OS are you running?
How often does it happen?
Does it happen doing something specific like screen resize?

None of these.
Are you sure your machine is using VAAPI, did you dump the pipeline?
window != NULL seems to suggest there's no overlay involved.
