What's the significance of the ~/subsurface directory?
Are you running different binaries in these two scenarios?
Your configuration on a Linux system is stored in
~/.config/Subsurface/Subsurface.conf 
Is your default data file in ~/subsurface ?
Is it possible that there are new dives on the dive computer, i.e. that
all your dives are already downloaded if you have your ~/subsurface
directory in its usual place?

Wait - so even if you remove the ~/subsurface directory, on the second
attempt it works?

I'm mildly confused about the exact steps when it does or does not work.
Sorry to make you repeat yourself, but understanding what triggers this
might help track it down...
