Nope, I'm using the same button.  Here's what works so far (I've started 
over):

begin xmms
   begin
     button = red
     prog = irexec
     config = echo "going into mplayer mode"
     mode = mplayer
     flags = quit
   end
end xmms

begin mplayer
   begin
     button = red
     prog = irexec
     config = echo "going into firefox mode"
     flags = mode|quit
   end
end mplayer

# Default block (firefox mode)
begin
   button = red
   prog = irexec
   config = echo "going into xmms mode"
   mode = xmms
   flags = quit
end

The key point is that the mode blocks have to be *before* the default block,
and have to have quits in them to stop processing.  This is because the
default block will match in any mode.  irexec seems to evaluate things in order
of the file.  So it goes through, checking for matches to the current mode.
If it finds any it does what's in that mode then quits processing (key point).
If it doesn't find any match, it ends up at the default block.

I'm still not sure if the xmms and mplayer plugins are required to (and do)
respect the mode blocks.
