Without having it tried out, I'm surprised that the second solution works at all? AFAIK, PICK_ACTION works on the mime-type vnd.android.cursor.dir/... while adding the specific contact id changes this to the mime-type vnd.android.cursor.item/... on which one should probably use the GET_CONTENT_ACTION?
Regardless of my irritation, your feature seems like a useful one that does not seem to be covered by the way the system works currently... Maybe someone should invent a new intent for doing exactly what you want (PICK_WITH_PRESELECTION_ACTION)...
