I seem to have the same problem, only in my case it turns the brightness up to 100%. My laptop is a Thinkpad R60e. Maybe this is rather a bug in gnome-power-manager, because as far as I can see, mplayer tries to disable both screensaver and power manager, and the power manager controls the brightness, possibly resetting it to a default value. I'm just guessing, though. :)
