ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

The Welcome Screen can also stay visible when a document has been opened via the DBus interface.

1. Start Okular

2. Find the DBus server

    $ qdbus| grep okular
    org.kde.okular-9834

3. Open a document

     $ dbus-send --print-reply --dest=org.kde.okular-9834 /okular org.kde.okular.openDocument string:/path/to/some.pdf

However, I think there's a more general problem with opening documents because tab behaviour is also inconsistent the same way',
i.e.  the  "Open new files in tabs" and "Switch to existing tab..." configuration options:  
   * work as expected for:
           * File | Open
           * File | Open Recent
   * have no effect for: 
           * File | Import Postscript as PDF
           * DBus OpenDocumentSOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

Please disregard my dbus comments, shortly after pressing "Save Changes" I tried the /okularshell path (as below) and the behaviour of Welcome Screen & Tabs is as expected.
 $ dbus-send --print-reply --dest=org.kde.okular-9834 /okular org.kde.okular.openDocument string:file://path/to/some.pdf
