I don't think this is a "global" issue, afaict, this is 100% dpx-specific.

I also don't think a global flag (or similar) that indicates that alpha
is actually infrared would me sense: GraphicsMagick (that does
not show the issue that FFmpeg has) does not have such a flag
and also supports a number of image formats that support alpha.
