The fix stopps dropping properly received data.
I realized the problem when switching channels in VDR. From time to time, it happend that switching took more than 50 ms (the timeout value used in _x_read_abort()), which caused the select() to timeout.
In the case where 'stream->demux_action_pending' was set, the already received data was dropped due to returning 0. This finally resulted in your demuxer to fail with DEMUX_END, as it couldn't read 6 bytes from the PES header.
So for the case, that there is some data available, it now takes twice the timeout (i. e. 100 ms), before a return 0 happens.
Some more information: as in rare cases switching channels could take even longer than 100 ms, I've also added a loop around _x_read_about() in my VDR input plugin, which returns 0 just after this state lasts for 5 seconds.
