Reproducibility is veeery low (1/25) so I couldn't make a log.
But I'll post the screenshots soon
A log probably won't be too useful, but who knows... A screenshot might give me a clue. Do those 'slots' appear in the main album browser, or after selecting an artist?

First of all, OMP doesn't do the actual shuffling, it relies on MAFW instead. I prefer to leave it this way for the same reason why one-repeat is still not there and why I'm reluctant to implement the queue system requested by FireyFly: it would either require watching the playback progress all the time, or wait for another song to start and then change the song again. Both solutions are ugly, vulnerable to delays and not in the spirit of the original media player (remember, it's just a replacement).

Second, is the current way of shuffling really that bad? In my opinion it's really nice. You can use next/previous button to travel through a randomized playlist, so it's possible to go back to one of the songs played before. Whenever you become bored with it, press the button to turn shuffling off and then press it again to randomize a new order.

Is it also possible to start OMP from commandline, and start playing last played song?
You could use that command together with "dbus-send --print-reply --dest=com.nokia.mediaplayer /com/nokia/mediaplayer com.nokia.mediaplayer.open_mp_now_playing".
