Comment (by Kamil Filipek):

 I have not found any workarounds for this problem.
 `copy_unknown`, forcing a tag with `tag:d:0`, disabling `write_tmcd`
 (because this is the stream with which we are having issues with), none
 helps.
 There is a mention of this issue (https://superuser.com/a/1488253) not
 existing in an old version of ffmpeg tagged `4.0.2`. But with my goal
 being re-encoding of the video stream into high quality HEVC, I see no
 reason in messing around with compilation of incompatible software.

 I see a solution in adding a handler for this timecode stream into ffmpeg,
 or making it possible to copy data without known type (?codec?) tag, with
 `copy_unknown`.

 I am looking into the code to find interesting diffs that caused the
 missing type tag fail the copy, but as someone not well acquainted with
 coding software like ffmpeg, I wouldn't hold my hopes up.
