Pixel format autoselection does not work correctly with -vf format

[cehoyos]

(bug 252 by Alex Converse)
If the format video filter is used, ffmpeg's pixel format auto selection does not work as expected:

$ ./ffmpeg -i tests/lena.pnm -pix_fmt yuv422p -vcodec mpeg2video -qscale 2 out.mpg

$ ./ffmpeg -i out.mpg -vf format=yuv420p -vcodec mpeg2video out2.mpg

ffmpeg chooses yuv422p for out2.mpg although yuv420p was requested on the command line.

Video filters have nothing to do with pixel format of output.

I don't know if this was fixed in ffmpeg.c or libavfilter, but the problem is not reproducible anymore.
