FLAC skipping on section

VLC has a problem with this specific FLAC file. It skips (plays silence) over a particular section and outputs these errors if I increase the verbose level:

[00007fbb6cc02280] flac demux packetizer warning: discarding bytes as we're over framesize 14747, 27267
[00007fbb6cc02280] flac demux packetizer debug: emulated sync word
[0000555832ded700] main audio output warning: playback way too early (-212595): playing silence
[0000555832ded700] main audio output debug: inserting 10204 zeroes

This doesn't happen with any other media player I tried. I had a friend reproduce it on his VLC too. If I re-encode the FLAC with FFmpeg it doesn't happen anymore. It seems this particular bitstream causes the problem.

VLC 3.0.18-rc2 Vitinari

Note: the timestamps on the sample file are wrong because I cut the file with FFmpeg (with -c:a copy) to post it here. This isn't related to the problem.
