Fix race condition when un-installing running apps

It is very unlikely, but there is a race condition between the
installer thread and the main thread regarding the life time of the
Application object that is currently being uninstalled.
We have a clear backtrace from a production system pointing to this
error, but we cannot reproduce this problem in an unit test.
