Well, each to his/her own, I guess. Other users (me included) find it useful to
be able to change some aspect(s) of the inactive pane without making it active.

From the USAGE document:
"adding '&' to the end of a command will run it in the background, and all
[console] output other than standard error is suppressed."
That said, I don't yet know what your problem might be. Each executed
application runs in its own separate process, so I'm at a loss to know how
yours is being affected. When I run the equivalent
terminal -e 'smplayer %p &' (or just smplayer %p)
it works just as would be expected.
Can you shed any further light? Logs or console text or ???

The terminal emulator within the application is not a full-blown shell, and so
any "complicated" commands are routed externally to the user's normal
interpreter, for processing. Each (';'-separated) sub-command is processed
independently.
In your example, we can see this from the "sh>" at the start of the reported
output, and the failure to know what to do with the "if" command.
Again, from USAGE:
adding '>>' to the beginning of a "joined" external command will cause it to
run as a single command in a separate shell... This is necessary if you do not
want the individual components of the joined command to be individually sent to
the shell.
