Additional information
It seems like the file system sync gets executed before or at the same time as the handling of the open URI, instead of before it.
The workaround I found was to trigger a regular open of the app, and then immediately using the open URI.
All these were carried out via a shortcut from Apple’s Shortcuts app.
