James, While I don't know about how NSOpenPanel reacts (I'm just converting to Cocoa), I do know that with that flag some aspects of our Carbon app appear to work better on higher resolution screens by inhibiting the automatic framework scaling that would try to compensate for running on a much higher resolution.
For example, since text (in Screenwriter & Dramatica) can be user configured, by choosing font scales display sizes (say 2 x), the text will look reasonable, although unscaled icons will be small and Carbon UI will still be small and lower Rez. HOWEVER -- I have seen that one purely Cocoa window with Cocoa UI elements still DOESN'T appear to be scaling for Retina, although that UI and code is in a separate dynamic library (a plug in) so perhaps that's the issue. I'm sure our good friend Eric will have some thoughts on all this...
