Sorry, I spoke too soon. I tried it again and the same problem appeared.
(Can Norton FileSaver also be a culprit? When pressing force quit, the
dialogue is just as likely to ask if I want to quit Norton Filesaver
instead of asking if I want to quit Pov-Ray. After closing down
FileSharing, it doesn't ask if I want to quit FileSharing or the Finder
anymore)

It seems like the problem appears when either:
A) When trying to overwrite an empty movie file has been created as a
result of having the wrong settings in the "Set Compression" dialogue.

B) The Movie file is moved or deleted when Pov-Ray is running.

Seems like the workaround is to:
1: Quit Pov-Ray.
2: Delete the movie file.
3: Start Pov-Ray and render again.

However, this might also be wrong. I will test further later tonight
