-nomouseinput implemented on X11 and Windows completely different, -nokeyinput follows it closely, using same technique and similar name. 
And X11 events are not passed like on Windows, mplayer with -wid grabs key events for that window, this is foreign window, at least having an option to disable key grabbing would be fair
