OK, I found the origin of the problem:

In the lxpanel config file

   ~/.config/lxpanel/panels/panel,

there is a plugin "volumealsa" which causes the misbehaviour. I just
commented out the three lines

# Plugin {
#    type = volumealsa
# }

and after restarting the lxpanel (logout/login), Alt-F2 works. However,
the execution window appears unfocused, but this is dealt in bug #889414
(with workaround).

This is a workaround I can live with, but still:
By commenting out volumealsa, I do not have a volume indicator any more. Anyone 
knows, why the plugin volumealsa makes problems? Is it just, that I would need 
to install some additional package?
