This may be obvious, but also obvious enough to overlook:
Are you sure to fork off the dmenu execution from the i3 process,
as well as fork off the mplayer script from dmesg? I mean, using
the "&" to fork the process?
Otherwise, dmenu will remain "attached" to i3, and mplayer will
remain "attached" to dmenu, causing non-desirable effects :-)
I did have a similar thing happen, and forking off the process I
had forgotten to, fixed the problem.

I already wrote it to Michael in private, I tried it again after a
reboot and it worked just fine. I think it might depend on the thing,
that after restarting my X session the X server goes from tty7 to
tty8. This seems to be a bug in Archlinux. In the last few days I
often restarted my X session, because of config mistakes in the i3
config or whatever ;-) But I'll give the forking a try, who knows,
maybe that's really the key. I'm not at my laptop right now, so it'll
still take some time till I can test all this and do the debugging etc
