I have the habit of cursing dylib myself and of accusing it of 
misbehavior, but I don't think this analysis is correct. If a binary has 
been linked with /sw/lib/libpng.3.dylib, then this library is loaded by 
dylib, even if /usr/local/lib/libpng.3.dylib is present on the computer. 
If it isn't, there must be a reason. The reason can be that

- either /usr/local/lib/libpng.3.dylib has already been loaded before by 
some other object, and then that object should be identified and rebuilt 
  linking to /sw/lib/libpng.3.dylib instead of 
/usr/local/lib/libpng.3.dylib. But the output Aaron showed does not 
indicate this scenario.

- or that the environment variable DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH is set. There was a 
time when also DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH could have this effect, even 
when it was not set explicitly, but I think this was the case only in 
some early versions of OSX 10.4 and associated xcode-2.0. Fink 
correspondingly used to set DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH to an empty ":" 
for a while, but it doesn't do so any more.

My bet is still that something in Aaron's startup scripts sets 
DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH. I don't know if he ever showed the output of

   echo $DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH

I would try to run

   env DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH="" pymol

and see what happens.
