What version of mplayer? The mplayer folks introduced changes that played
hell with NETWM-coompliant window managers and their support for
_NET_WM_FULLSCREEN not too long ago.
And what action is mplayer ACTUALLY trying to use for fullscreen? What
happens if you tell it that it's not allowed to use _FULLSCREEN, for
instance, and must use _ABOVE?
I was seeing this breakage in multiple window managers until *very*
recently.

Well, 0.65 isn't NETWM-compliant, so mplayer is playing other tricks to get
a full-screen window. You might try running mplayer in verbose mode to see
what it detects blackbox is capable of and what mode(s) it's going to try
to use.
