The problem is not the decoding, and certainly not the aspect change.
First, it only happens with some vos, so this is a very good example why
you really should have included a full "mplayer -v" log, which is
supposed to be the minimum requirement for every bug report.
Second, the problem is not aspect change, but that the resolution of the
video changes - so no wonder that you have no chance to encode it, you
would at minimum have to insert a scale filter to keep the encoding size
constant.
Problems at least partially fixed in SVN r20607.
