Can't open datafile, opening a verbatim copy works

As crazy as it may sound, opening my gnucash file gives me an error,
While opening a _verbatim_ copy works:

 $ cp budget.gnucash budget.gnucash.other
 $ gnucash budget.gnucash
  ERROR: In procedure read:
  ERROR: Unknown # object: #\<
 $ gnucash budget.gnucash.other
  - ALL FINE -

There's no dot-file in the directory containing those files.
Version of gnucash:

 GnuCash 2.2.9
 Built 2010-03-23 from r17949M

What can be changing the interpretation of the file based on
its filename ?

Thanks in advance.
