I'm creating this bug report and I hope I'll provide a pull request with a patch. Short description of the problem: Patch introduced downstream to build dvdauthor with newer imagemagick is incomplete, it does provide new API changes, but new variables are never used by the code and triggers assert in imagemagick code. I did explain this in bug #610574 comment #2. I modified gentoo patch and tested that it compiles, and dvdauthor doesn't trigger an assert in imagemagick code. I was able to create DVD successfully.
This is my first try, since the original patch is already used by stable ebuild, I created a new one with ebuild revision in the name. Pull request is at: https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/7189 If anything needs to be adjusted/re-done, please let me know.

Thank you for merging this. I did a quick test, and it still works as expected (compared to my previous local overlay version). Since this is merged and stable I'm closing this as resolved.
