Oops, forgot to follow-up. Indeed, you're right.

Shortly after my post Kjartan pinged me on IRC, and we found out some
details. Turns out the double-click makes GTK+ (?) set the width to some
default value. On the 2.14.x I had available at the time of the post
this indeed is "best fit", as in no file name is cropped. On later
versions the default is not the same, thus double-clicking will not
resize to best fit, but to the default...
