One could hope Apple will fix bugs in a timely manner :-p.  

So what should I do to workaround this bug or am I hosed?

The shell is too, though Bash completion is case-sensitive. Apparently dlopen is case-sensitive too: when we call `dlopen(/Applications/Gnucash.app/Contents/macOS/lib/gnucash/libgncmod-backend-dbi.dylib, 0x0009)` it fails to find the file. You can see this yourself by running
