Yes, the AVIMux does not support dynamic reconnection. What
would the point being of supporting it on an AVI muxer? The
AVI container does not support format changes in mid-stream.
It's not like a video renderer which can re-allocate a new
display surface on the fly.

The same applies to muxers for almost any other file format
(ASF/WMV, MOV...): the stream format is written once in the
header and can not change in mid-stream.

The MPEG1/2 system stream is the only one I know of that can
handle format changes because there is no header and the
format is stated at the beginning of each audio frame or
video GOP. I don't know about MP4.
