Hi, I'm the one who filed this bug.
Sorry for the late reply; my laptop (the machine I encountered this
problem on) is a bit defunct, so I spent some time resurrecting it, and
installing Etch on it.

I installed Debian Etch on it, and I was able to reproduce the crash
just like two years ago.
I also tried out Sergey's patch, but it still crashed on me. I did some
more experimenting; MPlayer allows resizing the window without keeping
the correct aspect ratio (at least, in the WM I tested with), but it
will not allow resizing to smaller than either 4 pixels horizontal or 4
pixels vertical.
When I reduce the width of the MPlayer window, Xorg won't crash, even at
4 pixels wide. But when I reduce the height of the MPlayer window, Xorg
will crash (with a SIGFPE, as always) as soon as I get below 16 pixels.
So I changed Sergey's lines to:
if (DstW < 16 || DstH < 16)
return BadValue;
And then I couldn't get Xorg to crash anymore (but obviously MPlayer
would crash with a BadValue error).
I have no idea why Xorg crashes for me on XV windows less than 16 pixels
high :/
