%%%I'm using the new session recovery feature of Blender 2.66 (ticked "Keep Session" in the user prefs).
When loading a file by double-clicking a .blend file, say "A.blend" I notice the following:

quit.blend is loaded to recover the previous session.
any auto-registering Python scripts in quit.blend are run. In my case it registered a file-specific operator and a file-specific GUI extension.
A.blend is loaded from disk.
A.blend is now loaded in Blender, with the UI extensions and operators of the previous file I had opened. Since they were very specific to the contents of that file, they are useless for A.blend.

Running Blender 2.66a on Windows 8, 64-bit.

Expected behaviour: either one of those two happens, but not both:

quit.blend is loaded to restore the session (when the CLI arguments contain no file to load)
the specified blend file is loaded

I have attached a file to demonstrate. Its auto-registering script just prints a banner to show that it's executing. To reproduce this behaviour:

load the attached blend file
quit blender
open another file by specifying it on the CLI, double-clicking it in a file manager, etc.
inspect the console output, it shows something like this:

Read new prefs: C:\Users\Sybren\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.66
config\userpref.blend
[other startup messages]
read blend: C:\temp\quit.blend

This is an automatically running Python script

read blend: C:\workspace\rage\media\RAGE models\arrow.blend
