If you hold the 'alt' (⌥) key when opening iTunes, iPhoto etc. then it opens them without the default library (try launching iTunes and holding ⌥). My guess is that you were holding the ⌥ key just too long when iTunes was launching. If you wanted to use ⌥i, then you could change the trigger settings to work "on release" instead of "on press" in the sidebar that pops out.
