ah, googling exact error showed up solution in this bug:

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/2351

should be fixed if your mesa has commits from:

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/merge_requests/4184/commits

but may be latest nesa reintroduced this bug...?

Also, you can try this bsf metadata option... (not sure how to use it yet)
