The black screen is probably the result of the 2D engine trying to composite from an empty camera preview frame buffer.
The video push buffer surfaces were a late addition to SurfaceFlinger to facilitate the use of video hardware pipelines. I'm not surprised there are some rough edges because it didn't get any testing outside of the basic use cases. I suggest you log a bug. If you have a code snippet that demonstrates the problem, that would be even better.
