You appear to have missed some of the documentation on GioApplication.

Quoting from the relevant sections

"Another feature that Gio.Application (optionally) provides is process
uniqueness. Applications can make use of this functionality by
providing a unique application ID. If given, only one application with
this ID can be running at a time per session."

and

"The ::command-line signal is emitted on the primary instance when a
commandline is not handled locally."

Since you are providing an applciation ID ("org.test"), and the only
command-line handling is in the "command-line" signal handler,
everything looks like it behaving as documented to me.
