Disabling the screen dimming (while mplayer is running) is done by calling a function which blocks the screen timeout for 1 minute; this is called something like (iirc) every 30 seconds, so it would be a minimum of 30 to 60 seconds after mplayer exits till screen dimming would be expected to act normally. Are your troubles occurring in this time window, or later?
Mplayer does not appear to hang; at least, neither ps nor top show it running after exiting.
