It is not about :async per se. Rather about using :session.
A simple reproducer is
#+begin_src bash :session test
mpv "/path/to/some/video"
m_
#+end_src
Basically, when you send multiline command in comint buffer without
waiting for each line to finish, the following line may be read by the
running command if that command is interactive.
It is similar to a situation when you run a normal terminal like
$ mpv "..."
<now type "m_" while mpv is still running>
<exit mpv>
$ m_ <m_ is echoed in the next prompt>

Avoiding session altogether will indeed solve the problem, as :session
is the place where the problem lies.
Adding :stdin support is also an interesting idea, even out of scope of
this discussion.
