Since recently, by default, only one instance of Merkaartor is allowed (because there is now an internal server accepting JOSM-like requests on port 8111.
Normally, arguments like files are passed to the running instance which loads them (and as I said, it works for me) It might be that there is something special on Debian which prevents the system from working (the whole system is a component from Qt, so I don't know the internals). You can however force a new instance by adding "-n" to the command-line. Could you try to see if that works for you?
