FFmpeg produces m4a file unplayable by portable music player

[NSLW]

Summary of the bug:
FFmpeg merely copying AAC stream into new container makes the file unplayable for my portable music player.

How to reproduce:
I've got an audio file for which
ffprobe originalFile.m4a
gives

Metadata:

major_brand : M4A
minor_version : 0
compatible_brands: M4A mp42isom

My portable player recognizes it as music and is able to play it. After doing
ffmpeg -i originalFile.m4a -vn -sn -dn -acodec copy convertedFile.m4a
I get a new audio file. My portable player doesn't recognize it as music and isn't able to play it, although desktop players have no troubles playing it.
Command
ffprobe convertedFile.m4a
gives

Metadata:

major_brand : M4A
minor_version : 512
compatible_brands: isomiso2

To make it recognizable and playable on my portable player I do
MP4Box -brand M4A:0 -rb isom -rb iso2 convertedFile.m4a
Command
ffprobe convertedFile.m4a
now gives

Metadata:

major_brand : M4A:
minor_version : 0
compatible_brands: M4A mp42M4A:

It wouldn't work if I only invoked one of below commands:
MP4Box -brand M4A:0 convertedFile.m4a
MP4Box -brand M4A:0 -rb isom convertedFile.m4a
MP4Box -brand M4A:0 -rb iso2 convertedFile.m4a
MP4Box -rb isom -rb iso2 convertedFile.m4a
MP4Box -rb isom convertedFile.m4a
MP4Box -rb iso2 convertedFile.m4a

Afterwards I could call
MP4Box -brand M4A:0 -ab isom -ab iso2 convertedFile.m4a
and the file would be playable as well.
Command
ffprobe convertedFile.m4a
would then give

Metadata:

major_brand : M4A:
minor_version : 0
compatible_brands: M4A mp42M4A:isomiso2

I see two culprits here:
1) compatible_brands should contain M4A as its first entry
2) minor_version should be 0 instead of 512

Please test current FFmpeg git head, provide the command line you tested together with the complete, uncut console output and the model of your audio player to make this a valid ticket.
You can change both compatible brands and minor version in the source code to test if that really fixes playback.

Pls attach the originalFile.m4a for issue reproduce

I don't believe that something changed in git head in that matter so I believe that setting it up and patching would only waste my precious time.
I don't want to provide full console output and I think it's predictable what mp4box does with the file.

My audio player is Pentagram Vanquish VOLT.

It's copyrighted so I cannot do it, but I believe it's a standard m4a file from iTunes. MediaInfo shows
"Format profile : Apple audio with iTunes info"
I observed that it's not that particular file that causes the issue, because a file from unrelated batch causes the same issue when converted with ffmpeg.

What do you need that file for?
