Well, infact there are no false positives.
MPlayer prints this messages when it would have to drop too many packages
(ie when the internal counter reaches a certain number).
The point is, if the movie is just playing at the limit for some time
and later uses less cpu, so mplayer can recover A-V sync, you wont
even realize that video was lagging behind audio.
