This bug seems related with OpenEXR which blender includes a copy.
You should prefer to use the system version because the fedora package
has the problem fixed (and the patch was sent upstream dispite no new
version of OpenEXR was released yet).

When possible, it would be really better if you can pick the fedora
version of the package.

For info, did you tried the fedora package of blender ? (Actually it
is known to miss ffmpeg support).
