Got the debug output level 9 and it showed this:

/Volumes/temp/Hybrid Temp/test clip-hybrid_13_32_28_3610__08.chp: Invalid data found when processing input

so the problem is the chapter file.
According to the debug output the content of the chapter file is:

;FFMETADATA1
[CHAPTER]
TIMEBASE=1/1000
START=0
END=51000
title=Chapter 04

which seems to be fine (comparing it to https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-formats.html#Metadata-1)
I think the problem is thatx264 reported that the output of the video only contains 'encoded 1558 frames' but the chapter file references frame 51000.
-> you will have to either modify the chapter info or disable the chapter creation.
