Simply rip a section from one of your DVDs and re-encode it. Motion scenes and lower values of -q seem to tickle the bug (but the problem can appear almost any time).

It's not as ugly as some.

Actually I'd hope you would resurrect and do battle with, and hopefully drive a stake thru the hear of, the "-q" option. Make that thing go away! Please! Specify a rate, a minimum and a maximum. THe encoder should automatically, I think, adapt the quantization (-q) with NO help from the user except for the desired average bitrate and perhaps an absolute "do not exceed" value. > Here's a deal.
