Can't you make the opening a two stage process and use a notification when the window hasbeenclosed to issue the "real" opening?
I wonder if there is a delegate to the open dialog that has events for that. Issuing delays to start a thread blocking operation at this point seems to beg for potential race conditions IMO.
