Shift the open() call later so that the pylint pragma applies *only* to
that one open() call. Add a note that suggests why this is safe: the
resource is unconditionally cleaned up in _post_shutdown().

_post_shutdown is called after failed launches (see launch()), and
unconditionally after every call to shutdown(), and therefore also on
__exit__.
