ffmpeg stripping out third stream not working

I have files with a third stream which could be some metadata from FCP. This is the output of ffprobe:

Unsupported codec with id 0 for input stream 2

Now I want to strip the third stream (stream 2)

So I use:

ffmpeg -i 00700.mov -vcodec copy -acodec copy -map 0:0 -map 0:1 testout.mov

So again I use ffprobe:

Unsupported codec with id 0 for input stream 2

Why is it not stripping stream 2? What Am I missing?

Generally, I Have no idea why it's not mapped as it should. But I've found workaround for this:

ffmpeg -i 01300.mov -filter_complex "[0:v]null[video_out];[0:a]anull[audio_out]" -map [video_out] -map [audio_out] out.mov

Looks like ffmpeg cannot map this 3rd stream correctly.

Answering this since it comes up on google search (to help others looking for solutions).

This has been fixed as of this ticket, https://trac.ffmpeg.org/ticket/5492, and you can get rid of the track by adding -write_tmcd 0 to the ffmpeg command.

This is specifically for a Data (tmcd) track. For others (subtitles, data in general, etc.), a combination of either -dn, -map -0:d and similar commands should help.
