For OSDs, the playback video renderer determines whether the screens are 
drawn at the full resolution or drawn on top of the unscaled video and 
scaled with the video.  IIRC, Xv is drawn on the video and OpenGL and 
VDPAU are drawn at OSD resolution.

Note, also, that the OSD theme engine has just been changed in trunk, so 
if you're making an OSD theme, you should be doing so against trunk and 
not 0.23-fixes.  Otherwise, you'll have to start over from scratch and 
will only be able to reuse the images and positioning information (but 
will have to completely redo the XML/theme definition) when you switch 
to 0.24 (after it's released).
