Sorry, was too quick. 
You probably need option --fake-version for osmconvert:
osmconvert  --fake-version 12360002.osm.pbf -o=12360002-josm.osm.pbf

I think that's the reason for the problem: JOSM doesn't like input
in pbf format that doesn't have the meta info (version, author etc)

I never cared about that because I use o5m format and an o5m plugin that
I wrote once for JOSM. It is not in the plugins repo, but I may try again to
add 
it there.

A 3rd alternative is to use --output=xml in splitter, the files in that
format are
no problem in JOSM, but may decrease performance in splitter and mkgmap.
