This is weird.
I have now built MPlayer from CVS. I used the libavcodec, libavformat  
and libavutil directories from an up-to-date ffmpeg-cvs snapshot and  
copied them into the mplayer-cvs tree before building. Version is now:

MEncoder dev-CVS-060210-15:17-4.0.1

The effect is exactly the same. I will try this on x86 Linux now, to  
see if this is somehow related to OS X, ppc or altivec code.
