For some reason, this new GUI broke my MPlayer's ability to read external subtitle files without crashing. Here's the console log:

Spoiler for log:

MPlayer interrupted by signal 11 in module: read_subtitles_file
- MPlayer crashed by bad usage of CPU/FPU/RAM.
Recompile MPlayer with --enable-debug and make a 'gdb' backtrace and
disassembly. Details in DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports_what.html#bugreports_crash.
- MPlayer crashed. This shouldn't happen.
It can be a bug in the MPlayer code _or_ in your drivers _or_ in your
gcc version. If you think it's MPlayer's fault, please read
DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports.html and follow the instructions there. We can't and
won't help unless you provide this information when reporting a possible bug.

This happens in any of the VOs, and I don't think I did anything terribly unusual in the preferences... pretty much exactly what's in your except with soft framedrop turned on.

EDIT: Fixed. Well, apparently when I replaced the old MPlayer OSX.app, the MKVs switched to be opened up by VLC by default. And somehow, the fact they open with VLC by default is what broke this. Changing it back in Finder fixed this. I'm not sure exactly how this works, but it seems like an odd bug.

EDIT: Wait, never mind...the problem is still there. This problem isn't there in my standalone (non-GUI) mplayer. Any ideas based on the console message?
