Caused by a happy reunion of bugs in MPlayer (ended up using -vf lavc, did you never wonder why this command was so slow? It did some encoding for you) and in FFmpeg (incorrect alignment, only relevant on SSSE3-capable CPUs) and a 50:50 chance that worked in your disfavour. The bugs are squashed, if you want to be extra sure use an older CPU and get some better luck :-P
