Interesting.
Take a look at Gnucash.app/Contents/Info.plist *after* you've run it once. It should include the following lines:
        <key>CFBundleExecutable</key>
        <string>Gnucash</string>

It the second line says Gnucash-bin instead of Gnucash, then that's the problem, and your mac is changing it. Change it back.

In either case, try renaming Gnucash.app to something else and then rename it back. The idea is to force launchd to reload the Info.plist into its cache. Do this instead of copying Gnucash.app fresh from the dmg and relaunch.
