I believe the problem is in the way the app handles during initialization. If you navigate to your application http://example.com/ then your url will be an empty string and trigger the route change. After it fails to resolve it will then hit the otherwise and cause the double route change/initialization.

Basically if you fire up the route yourself upon load you shouldn't see the double change. You can just inject the $location service and direct there yourself inside of the run assuming you want to start at any one given point. (see the plunk: http://plnkr.co/edit/lTOSYX?p=preview )

.run(function ($rootScope, $log, $location) {
    $location.path('/');//Add this
    // continue code here
});

If your controllers are double loading then you probably have other complications such as the double controller declaration/execution issue mentioned in the note (Combating AngularJS executing controller twice).
