Additional information
After running countless of DVB-recordings through ccextractor to the subtitles from the teletext, this file was the first to not getting processed at all, instead I got this console-output:
>ccextractorwinfull.exe -out=srt -bom -utf8 file.ts

Forcing the input-file-format with -in=ts worked and the subtitle was created successfully, but I wanted to get down to the cause of the problem.
After going through the source and checking how the format-detection works, I saw that CCE is checking the video for certain strings to determine the format, at least that's how I understood it.
I opened the TS-file in a hex-editor and searched for moov:
Position 727131 0xB185B
Luckily that was a payload-only TS-packet of the video-PID, so I was free to just change the text to something else. Then I ran this modified file through ccextractor, which worked:
>ccextractorwinfull.exe -autoprogram -out=srt -bom -utf8 file_edit.ts

Well, it's the first time in about 7 years we see this kind of issue (code for this was added by me in #165), so that sample would definitely be welcome.
Looks like my approach back then wasn't fully bulletproof.
Trimmed the file to the first megabyte, as that's what the format-autodetection is looking at, right? https://www.mediafire.com/file/xt5s9pd6yj3hc4q/ccextractor_moov_ts.zip/file Contains the original file and the edited version.
Yes, that should be sufficient indeed. Thanks for the quick share.
Closing since it seems fixed already (at least based on the merge, I haven't validated)
