Are you sure that it doesn't do that with a disk named SYSTEM.DISK of ANY
interleave?  I thought that was to make sure that GS/OS didn't try to read
the tools from the wrong disk.  If you had a disk that was named SYSTEM.DISK
but didn't have the tools, or had different tool versions, I think it would
probably screw things up.  I think the Finder is just trying to take
precautions against this happening.
