That message doesn't mean that an application has created the MPEG-1 splitter
filter directly. The operative difference is in whether the application creates
the filter using CoCreateInstance and adds it to the graph by itself, or
whether it uses Render/RenderEx/RenderFile/Connect() to let the filter graph
handle it. All of the applications you linked for which +quartz logs are
available show the latter.

I did check all of the duplicates of this bug, however, and it seems that
exactly one does indeed create the splitter directly: Drome Racers, from bug
21152. Note that Tomb Raider, from the same bug, uses RenderEx().

That application doesn't seem to use the MPEG splitter at all, so it's another
issue entirely.

Eh, probably not; arguably it's the same problem in both cases, it's just a
matter of figuring out the better approach toward solving it.
