Indeed it looks similar.

The mkv file is 121MB long, and I tried to extract a smaller sample that 
exhibit the bug, but without success. Even if I remove as little as 1 kB 
from the end of the file, it plays normally. (Which may be interesting 
debug information in itself.)

I will follow up upstream, the VLC team member that solved that specific 
bug happens to be an acquaintance. I will get back to you if I need.


Best,
