I liked to do that, then it stopped working consistently, and
sometimes it would open all the files, and sometimes only the last one
I selected. Seems to be working okay now, it might have been a glitch
in my GTK+ build.

In any case, my workflow typically involves projects with multiple
related images that I need to check and adjust for consistency, which
leads me to open and close small selections of files sporadically. I
still recommend the method I mentioned, for such a workflow. If I
could open multiple files *without* the Open dialog automatically
closing, then I would unconditionally recommend your method.
