Further examinations have shown that the issue might be related to the
fact that my app has the "UIApplicationExitsOnSuspend" flag set to YES.
When removing this flag, it seems to work correctly. When activating it
again, however, iOS shows the image from the last run of the app with
"UIApplicationExitsOnSuspend" set to NO. Really does smell like an iOS
bug.
