You are forgetting

5) fix an obvious bug and pray that it is the only one
6) wait forever for someone to report a bug in a reproducible way.

My point is just that 5) is better than 6). I agree that the ideal is 
1), 2) or 3).

Anyway, again, does anyone get a different output for:

ffmpeg -idct simple -i 
http://samples.mplayerhq.hu/game-formats/ea-tgq-uv/tgq/v27.tgq -an -t 10 
-f framecrc - | md5sum

?
I get 2b84588602acda70269bd3e3aa1ce632
