I have not seen the inactive Disk/Eject situation.  What I have
seen is this:

    o   you have a Mac disk mounted, and you change
        directory to that disk from (say) a terminal window.

    o   you drag the disk to the recycler.  Nothing apparently
        happens, but if you're alert (NPI) you'll see an alert
        flash up for half a second and go away.

    o   the alert you almost didn't see from the previous case
        will come up if you eject the disk from the Disk/Eject
        menu.  It says you can't eject the disk because some
        application is using it.

I can't seem to replicate your situation where the Disk/Eject
menu is inactive.
