OK, I'm a total cretin.
Checking what version og the x264 lib I had, I realized I actually had
2 installed : the most recent 60 and one year-old 47.
After uninstalling both and reinstalling the 60, transcode new module
works perfectly and the image quality is perfect!
I don't have your "rate abort" message, which is weird, though.
I also had the x264_2pass.log issue using export_ffmpeg but thought it
was not a big deal, so I did not talk about it...
At least the two-pass libavc issue is real, otherwise I would have
bothered you for nothing.
