A MKV file with a TrueHD track has always been a problem with tsmuxer.

If a TrueHD track contains AC3 data then both data sets are completely decodable independently from another. The AC3 part is present so that if that track is output to a hardware decoder that doesn't know about TrueHD then that hardware decoder can still decode the AC3 part. The only difference between the two is that TrueHD is a lossless codec while AC3 isn't – but they've both been done from the same source material.

The Matroska specs state that one track must only contain data for one codec. Therefore mkvmerge cannot keep the AC3 interleaved with the TrueHD part in a single track.
The problem is that tsmuxer only works with a thd+ac3-core track.
