I somehow guess this might have something to do with your xvideo support,
since I do not have any trouble of this kind (but I have to admit I do
not gave a proper program to test).
Try some of the other colorkey methods for -vo xv (see manpage), and try
calling vo->check_events() before and/or after flip_page.

Don't know, but I admit passing 1 in paused mode is not such a great
idea, I guess 1.0/0.0 makes more sense...
