I've noticed that as well. By chance, are you *not* using a mouse?
i am using a mouse. in fact i'm using two mice on the hardware on different Xsessions.
upgraded to media-video/mplayer-20090226.28734-r1 i disabled direct rendering, frame dropping, hard frame dropping it hides the cursor now.
the real solution is to change the theme from bluehart to default
