I'm honor-bound to post the developer's reply to my bug report. His solution worked exactly as he said. Machacha is vindicated and bravo to the developer for a prompt and helpful response.

"This is a OS bug introduced in I-can't-remember-which-OS. Most probably
you're talking about carbon-based apps whose name ends with ".0". This could affect MacHacha as well as other apps, such as the Script Editor or
Automator.

The workaround suggested in various public sources is adding a ".app"
extension to the related files. Eg: Photoshop 7.0 --> Photoshop 7.0.app

BTW, MacHacha doesn't alter any preference file, except for MacHacha.plist.
It's LaunchServices who insists in associating certain files to MacHacha."

Naughty no more! - donalpixny

Still, a definite pain. No easy way to see what's been attacked; my machine has about 1700 files ending in ".0" alone - not all are carbon apps - & I am not going to manually sift through them & neither File Buddy or Finder has an "opens with" search term. You just have to wait for the weirdness to happen.
