I am using feisty up to date.

This bug has not been fixed yet in Hardy (with Nautilus 2.21.90).

The way I reproduced the bug:

1) Start up the Hardy Alpha 4 Live CD
2) Install mplayer (a program that allows multiple instances)
3) Set Nautilus to List View
4) Open the Examples folder on the desktop
5) Set "mplayer" as the default player for ogg files (Right click "Experience ubuntu.ogg" -> Open with Other Application -> Use a custom command -> Type in "mplayer" -> Open)
6) Close mplayer
7) Double click "Experience ubuntu.ogg" (it opens automatically with mplayer this time)
8) Repeat steps 6 and 7, after a couple of times you will get 2 instances of mplayer after double clicking only once

Same problem in Gutsy, in List mode nautilus opens files twice at every third attempt. I get this while double-clicking (running) executables of programs written in Motif.

I can reproduce it with the (final) Live CD in the same way as I posted above with the alpha Live CD.

As a long time "fan" of this bug I can now happily confirm that in the latest nautilus (from Hardy Proposed) this bug is fixed!

First I rechecked if the bug was still present in version 2.22.2-0ubuntu6, it was. Then I enabled Proposed which I normally have turned off, and installed version 2.22.3-0ubuntu2. I am now unable to reproduce this bug. In fact, opening files by double clicking in List View in Nautilus feels more solid overall!

Thanks everyone and especially Paweł Paprota!
