This is not a bug in Temperament 2.0, it is a bug in the About Temperament
document! It appears that sometime during the development of Temperament
the programmer accidentally copied a version of the INIT resources into
the resource fork of the documentation file, and set the bundle bit on
the document. The extra resources shouldn't do anything, even if you happen
to leave the documentation sitting around in your System Folder, since
only certain types of files are searched for INITs, but the messed up 
bundle bit confuses the Finder and makes it think the About Temperament
document is actually the appropriate application to open when Word 
documents (or settings files, in your case) are double-clicked from the 
Finder. This causes the problems you noticed. 

Solution: Use ResEdit, DiskTop, etc. to unset the Bundle bit on the About
Temperament document, and the problems should go away. They did for me. 
You could also use ResEdit to remove the extra resources from the document,
but this is not really necessary.
