Like I wrote in comment in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rhythmbox/+bug/1283269, after reinstalling Rhythmbox, Rhythmbox plugins and packages related to Sound Indicator and notifications, everything works as expected. I can't tell, if earlier I had the MPRIS plugin enabled, or not - now is enabled.

Regardless of whether RB is running: Sound menu track controls (prev, play/pause, next) do nothing. The play/pause button has a dotted orange ring, which turns to an orange square on mouseover (see screenshots).
