SIMBL brings up a dialog asking which application to launch #1

I've run into some issues with SIMBL 0.9.3b, which seems to be related to my 
habit of installing 
different versions of the same application using "unexpected" names.

The situation: I have two versions of the MythFrontend application, one called 
"MythFrontend.app" and another one called "MythFrontend 0.21-fixes.app" 
(unrelated: these are 
the frontend applications for the MythTV PVR software).

When I start the "0.21-fixes" version, *both* versions start up. If I remove 
the 
"MythFrontend.app" and start the "0.21-fixes" version, I get a popup (from the 
AppleScript 
'backend' system?) asking me where the "MythFrontend" application is located.

Both apps have the same CFBundleName ("MythFrontend").

Not sure who's to blame here :-)

The issue is that the AppleEvent delivery mechanism is flakey and imprecise 
about which application gets the 
event. I'm having some trouble getting more precise delivery to work.
