That is quite a dumb bug, but he wants to set the correct aspect. If he 
puts the correct aspect in the movie-specific config file, why would 
someone wish to override it on playback? I agree that it would be a bad 
idea to set options like vop or fs in the file, but aspect seems safe 
unless one frequently likes to squash or stretch his movie characters.
