New findings:

This error occurs because intent validity is bound to the activity that receives it (SharingActivity in this case). As soon as the receiver activity finishes, the permission to open the URIs is revoked unless one of the URIs is still open. In order words, leaving the activity and without starting the transfer will result in this error (which will not be recoverable).
