Comment (by hamish):

After some battling with the unit tests it seems that the argv is not
expected to contain the file path if no additional args are passed. See
http://cgit.haiku-
os.org/haiku/tree/src/tests/kits/app/broster/LaunchTesterHelper.cpp#n426.

I'm curious if this is indeed the behaviour on BeOS for a `B_ARGV_ONLY`
app, because it seems that a `B_ARGV_ONLY` app would have no other way to
receive the target file in that case.

A few of the tests were also broken because the
`BMessage::ReturnAddress()` of the messages sent to the launch context
would refer to the launch context itself. On the test app side, it makes a
copy of the `RefsReceived` message, and this also ends up copying the
reply-to address of the message. If the tests pass under BeOS, that would
suggest this behaviour is also wrong.
