If this happens also in Diablo release, could you file a bug about first
mime open request not working properly? App shouldn't care about
whether it were already running when receiving file open D-BUS request.

Looking at the bug:
https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2521
I guess when started, the application expects first a "top" message and
only then a "mime open" message (opening a file doesn't imply topping
as the file could be music you want to be played on background).
I.e. I think more correct way to work around the above problem (than
asking app to open file twice) would be by sending first "top" and them
"mime open" request as I think you'd anyway want the app to be topped
to show the image even when it was already running on the background...
