Actually, The Mac OS looks for the most up to date version of the
application. If there are two different copies of the same application,
whichever one has the higher version number is the one that OSX will
normally open. This is one of the things that makes the Mac so user
friendly.

I looked into the plist for RB2006r1, and found that it's version strings
don't comply with the Apple standards, so my guess is that OSX can't tell
what version it is.

RB's version string looks like this: REALbasic 2006r1

It should look something like this: 4.1.3b6

I'll post this on the RS bug-track system and hopefully they'll take care of
it in the next release.
