Not that I think music pricing is even vaguely fair, but:
Perhaps a contributing factor to the pricing similarity is that a DVD release is generally the second release of a movie -- people have probably already seen it, it's going into rotation on cable/PPV soon, etc. Music releases on CD are the material's initial availability to the public.
