It looks like as primitive call as IMFPresentationClock::GetCorrelatedTime can deadlock entire pipeline due to an issue in Media Foundation core. There are no symbols available for mfcore.dll so I would assume they have a global critical section there which is inaccurately used.
In any event the problem looks like an API bug, and severe one (given that it blows things up in UWP XAML MediaPlayerElement control and IMFMediaEngine::GetCurrentTime call!), because IMFPresentationClock::GetCorrelatedTime is too widely used to be banned even for RTWQ thread.
The two threads are locking two critical sections in the opposite order, a classic deadlock with two concurrent threads cross-locking one another. I would presume one of them is a global critical section – this would explain why such simple API participates in the deadlock.
