I feel that the File -> Open code shouldn't fail with an error just
because the SQLite backend isn't available.  The code should be able to
differentiate a failure due to the backend not being available from a
failure that the backend wont handle the file.

So the fact that the code is non-deterministic isn't itself a bug.  How
the non-determinism is handled, *that* should be considered a bug.
