Gnucash closed File A without saving (so, that's good), but then it opened File B, giving me two instances with File B. I expected it to reopen File A after the changes were discarded.

Neither. There's only one instance of the "last file opened" key, and when you opened file B in a second instance that overwrote the key, so when you reverted file A in the first instance it went to look at the "last file opened" key to see what it should do and found file B.
