Indeed, opening the Dash again and selecting the item again triggers playback. So the issue seems to be that when Rhythmbox gets started by the dash, it does not immediately receive the item selection as well.

What happened instead: Rhythmbox was started but the album did not start playing nor got the first song of the album get selected in Rhythmbox, so that manually clicking the play button wouldn't start playing the right song.
