I've got a layout file that cause i3 (version 4.8) to hang 100% consistently.
I use the i3-msg append_layout command to cause this. I've used it with other
layout files just fine.
What is it about this file that causes i3 to hang?
I've included the layout file below:

My guess is that something goes wrong when setting your display settings on
undock.
I’d start by logging a confirmation line to a file in your undock-script so
that you know it gets executed.
Also, I’d check the i3 log, see http://i3wm.org/docs/debugging.html,
and check whether the randr settings are as you expect them after undocking.
Instead of logging out and in again, try changing your settings using xrandr.
