As Ganesh noticed, I forgot the output "-" in my example, but you probably
noticed that on your own, and that is not the issue.

I just ran some tests and it appears that bash restores the tty state if the
command was killed by a signal but not if it exited normally.

Therefore, "ffmpeg ... - | head" will have the tty restored because ffmpeg
dies by SIGPIPE, but "strace ffmpeg ... - | head" will trash the tty state
because bash does not know of the SIGPIPE. The same goes for anything that
runs ffmpeg as a sub-process, from "sh -c ..." to the FATE harness.

Well, bash does part of its job, but I consider it should do more: leaving
the tty trashed just because you inserted strace in front of the command is
bad policy.
