I'm afraid I don't know what happened and I don't fully understand your
description either. I don't use Ubuntu myself and haven't experienced
something similar to what you describe on Fedora.
As far as I understand the code, GnuCash will never automatically open a
backup file. So it is more likely that at some point you inadvertently
selected the backup file yourself. Either by double clicking it in your file
manager or by selecting it from the File->Open dialog window.
Best regards,
