I posted a patch for this on -devel:

http://mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/mplayer-dev-eng/2003-March/016899.html

but it was ignored.

The problem has to do with the down key being mistakenly recognized as
an alphanumeric under some locales. You can work around the problem by
unsetting LANG (thus using the standard "C" locale) before running
mplayer.
