macOS gst-plugins-base/gl/cocoa: UI API called on a background thread: -[NSView removeFromSuperview]

I faced with the strange problem on my macbook pro 2018 with macOS 10.14.3 (Mojave), xcode 10.1. I use gstreamer 1.15.2 package downloaded from https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org. I tried to use my self app and test app from gl examples (gst-plugins-bad/tests/examples/gl/cocoa/cocoa-videooverlay.m master branch) and I have the same results. When I run app all fine, but after on close window or end playback by EOS event (please see source code of the test example) I have the next output inside xcode console:

2019-03-14 22:36:16.344887+0000 test123[88544:4060512] [default] Unable to load Info.plist exceptions (eGPUOverrides)

end of stream

I copied the source code of cocoa-videooverlay.m to simple new test project. If I run this test app from console everything is fine: I have not this error on output. Log:

app created setting window handle 140348288476096d end of stream

As far as I understand this not good to finalize NSview operation inside separate thread.

I know about issue #372 (closed) , but I think this is separate issue, because OpenGL and OpenGLES is different.
