Running mediascanner on Mir-enabled phone via strace reveals it's looping at the following (note the reference to SF):

[pid 2548] ppoll([{fd=15, events=POLLIN|POLLPRI|POLLERR|POLLHUP|POLLNVAL}], 1, {0, 500000000}, NULL, 8 <unfinished ...>
[pid 2580] <... nanosleep resumed> 0x4743f160) = 0
[pid 2580] ioctl(38, BT819_FIFO_RESET_HIGH, 0x4743efd8) = 0
[pid 2580] ioctl(38, BT819_FIFO_RESET_HIGH, 0x4743efd8) = 0
[pid 2580] writev(29, [{"\4", 1}, {"ServiceManager\0", 15}, {"Waiting for service SurfaceFling"..., 39}], 3) = 55
[pid 2580] nanosleep({1, 0}, <unfinished ...>

and this is somewhere in the gstreamer-1.0 stack.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Ricardo Salveti (rsalveti)]

This is related with the SF -> Mir migration as we need to link against a different platform-api library when using Mir. This should be fixed at the next gst-plugins-bad1.0 upload.

Marking as fix released, we no longer see the hangs.
