And while this doesn't really help the problem itself, gg's release doesn't have the same problem, so you might want to check out their release if you haven't already.

It's a limitation of how mplayer renders ASS/SSA.
Gabest's VSFilter aka DirectVobSub on windows is currently and has been for a while now, the best and most compliant ASS/SSA subtitle renderer.
I checked the same Bakemonogatari episode on Windows using VSfilter to render the subs and they were perfect. So it just shows at what stage of development libASS(the library used by mplayer to render fancy ASS/SSA) is. It supports most things, but not as much as VSFilter does.
It's being worked on constantly. So I presume it will rival VSFilter at some point in time. We just have to be patient.
Overall Mplayer OSX Extended is still the best Mac player available.
So keep up the great work Adrian!
