Comment(by erikos):

 Update: the trace of this bug is hinting to the ds.

 When we switch from the 'external-device-view' to the Journal view the
 datastore is requested for a new set of items. The returned list has the
 new item at the end.

 Another hint which is distinctive to this bug is that if you wait a few
 seconds after you copied the file and switch then to the Journal view the
 copied item has the right position. This is because after
 [http://git.sugarlabs.org/sugar-
 datastore/mainline/blobs/master/src/carquinyol/indexstore.py#line47 5
 seconds] we flush the index. We do call flush index after we have created
 the new ds entry but we do [http://git.sugarlabs.org/sugar-
 datastore/mainline/blobs/master/src/carquinyol/indexstore.py#line269 not
 force it]. If you set [http://git.sugarlabs.org/sugar-
 datastore/mainline/blobs/master/src/carquinyol/indexstore.py#line281 here]
 'force' to 'true' we flush the index and have the desired result.

 I compared the code with the 0.84 one, where this is working, but we do
 not force the flush there neither. So I am looking now at other changes
 that might have caused it. [This one http://git.sugarlabs.org/sugar-
 datastore/mainline/commit/3644facf0a296c7d55b44394942b866529361248] looks
 like touching this area...
