I've attached dither_tiny.patch -- it solve the biggest problem when dst_depth > 8 and white goes to black.
If you don't want to loose time for DITHER_COPY problem, please apply only this dither_tiny.patch -- for one iteration it is acceptable quality.

movie after 200 iterations 12bit -> 10bit -> 8bit ->12bit with dither_tiny.patch
msystem.waw.pl/x265/w200.mkv

and the same but with dither_sub.patch
msystem.waw.pl/x265/n200.mkv
