So, this is a bug! I had to work around it in my app in a special case : my activity was calling an OpenIntent in onCreate to invoke a file picker. Everything was working right until the user had installed several apps able to handle the intent. Now I understand that it was the auto-generated activity chooser DIALOG that was triggering that bug!
The only workaround I found was adding a welcome screen and let the user tap a menuitem for picking a file... Thanks !
