Comment (by hamish):

 Looking at the `BRoster` code this seems intentional (and also applies to
 regular non-BApplication executables, not just scripts). If no additional
 arguments (argc, argv) are passed to `BRoster::Launch()` then it won't
 include the target file path in the argument vector.

 It will send the file ref later in a message. It will try to send the
 message even if the app has the `B_ARGV_ONLY` flag — which seems to go
 against the definition given in the Be Book. Is this the BeOS behaviour,
 or a mistake?
