I think one possibility could be that XBMC (and thus Plex) implements 
the overlay player controls as "menu", so that when you access the 
player controls and then "close" them, the command to go to the 
previous menu will show the overlay player controls again. I think 
I've observed this during development of the new XBMC Behaviour, but I 
may be wrong.

To me (from my outside perspective and observations - I'm not familiar 
with XBMC internals, so I may be wrong in parts) it looks like if XBMC 
internally has no real menu hierarchy, but really allows to have any 
menu follow one another. The magic that gives you the impression of 
hierarchical menus seems to be located inside the keymap.xml, which 
allows different actions to be executed for button presses depending 
on which menu is currently shown. The keymap.xml is honored by XBMC/ 
Plex if you use "Navigation: Previous menu", it is not honored and 
you're just taken to the previous menu on the stack of menus when 
using "Previous menu".

What happens if you press the menu button more than one time? Does 
XBMC take you to the previous menu as you'd have expected it to do 
with your first press?
