Weird problem with color depending on the exported mp4 dimensions

I have noticed someone having that problem on AE localised FB group and decided to test for myself, and indeed there is some issue here. I have created simple compositions with just a shape coloured red. TO be precise its #D71414

I have then duplicated the composition so one is 512x512 and other is 640x640. WHen i export it as H264 mp4 the one with dimensions 512x512 gets its colour changed. WHen i have tested QuickTime mov the color remains true on both dimensions. If i then convert mov into mp4 without touching After Effects, color gets switched again on the 512x512 composition. Is there a way to prevent it on smaller videos that must be mp4?

It seems Media Encoder is struggling with it for some reason, but free software like HandBrake converts the 512x512 mov into mp4 keeping its colour true:
