It may be some inconsistency in the HEVC stream generated by X265, or possibly FFMPEG (used for frame serving) could be losing frames... I really don't know. I don't think it is the audio, as it doesn't necessarily get reencoded, and it is handled no differently than with previous BD-RB versions.

I haven't figured out why this is happening yet, but if and when I do I'll release a test version here on Doom9. The biggest problem is that it takes anywhere between 10 and 18 hours for my system to do a full movie (even at the fastest encode speed and using one-pass ABR)... so you can only do so much in a day.

I think I'll do a couple encodes using AVISYNTH just to eliminate the FFMPEG possibility -- but even if it works correctly that's not a long term solution as it would also be losing the HDR and 10 bit attributes during encode.
It looks as though frames are being added during the encode process (FFMPEG?). I just ran the original and the output from the encode through AVISYNTH using StackVertical() and the new encode slowly lags more-and-more behind the original as it plays (at the same frame rate). Because of the apparent addition of frames, the total length of the new encode is 31 seconds longer than the original on the test I'm doing. I'm now running the exact same encode using AVISYNTH as the frame server rather than FFMPEG. I'll see what happens in about 15 hours or so.

If I'm lucky I may find that its caused by my use of the "-r" option in FFMPEG... but that'll take another encode as well.
