I think this is a bug in the logic that handles multiple instances. At a 
high level an application that wants only one instance running should do 
the following when starting up:

-send an inter-process message to other instances and wait for a reply;
-if it gets a reply, exit;
-otherwise, start up normally.

And then the already running instance is supposed to:

-listen for the inter-process message;
-if received, restore (de-iconify) the application window, if necessary, 
and gain focus;
-send a reply.

In the case of Moneydance, it seems one of the two instances is 
attempting to load the data file - incorrectly executing some of the 
normal startup logic. This shouldn't happen.

I'd suggest filing a bug.

Better to fix the underlying problem, than modify the buttons on the 
dialog as a bandaid.
