PEBCAK, RTFM: It's not a bug, it's a documented feature!

mencoder [global options] file1 [specific options] [file2] [specific options]

Note '_specific_ options'. :) '-nosound' only applied to 2.avi, 1.avi still 
have sound...

(Actually, this possibly raises another bug.. with -oac copy, MEncoder 
should STILL complain that 2.avi has no sound but 1.avi does, but I'm not 
sure if I ever added such a check... /me checks).

Bleh, seems like it creates a broken file. :(
I should fix this...
