Inspired by the comments I got on this issue, I solved the problem by reading all bytes into a memorystream and using it as the BitmapImage's Sreamsource.

This one works perfectly:

if (File.Exists(filePath))
{
    MemoryStream memoryStream = new MemoryStream();

    byte[] fileBytes = File.ReadAllBytes(filePath);
    memoryStream.Write(fileBytes, 0, fileBytes.Length);
    memoryStream.Position = 0;

    image.BeginInit();
    image.StreamSource = memoryStream;

    if (decodePixelWidth > 0)
        image.DecodePixelWidth = decodePixelWidth;

    image.EndInit();
}
