I tested this with a current SVN copy of mplayer (r28108). It detects the tags, but I don't know if the problem is with the standard configuration of the distribution's version of mplayer, or that the fix hasn't simply been imported into our version yet.
Here's the output from the SVN version of mplayer; please ignore the audio-output messages, since I didn't bother compiling it with pulseaudio support: $ ./mplayer -identify 255025-tagged-aac.m4a MPlayer dev-SVN-r28108-4.3.2 (C) 2000-2008 MPlayer Team CPU: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.60GHz (Family: 15, Model: 2, Stepping: 9) CPUflags: MMX: 1 MMX2: 1 3DNow: 0 3DNow2: 0 SSE: 1 SSE2: 1 Compiled for x86 CPU with extensions: MMX MMX2 SSE SSE2 Playing 255025-tagged-aac.m4a.

The difference seems to be that the SVN version uses the "lavpref" demuxer, while the Ubuntu version uses "mov". Attempting to force the "lavpref" demuxer fails to play anything on my version: $ mplayer -demuxer lavfpref 255025-tagged-aac.m4a MPlayer 1.0rc2-4.3.2 (C) 2000-2007 MPlayer Team CPU: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.60GHz (Family: 15, Model: 2, Stepping: 9) CPUflags: MMX: 1 MMX2: 1 3DNow: 0 3DNow2: 0 SSE: 1 SSE2: 1 Compiled with runtime CPU detection.
