The main problem, at least on Linux, is that the user configuration files are shared between two intsances which means saved reports, customization etc are shared. If each data file requires separate customized reports etc., it may get a little confusing. I have never had any interactions between two instances runningon separate data files in terms of data file interaction. I often have had a production stable version running and also may be running an instance of one of the development branches open at a different test data file with no difficulties. Having two instances open on the one data file is likely to be problematical but the file locking should stop you doing that unless you override it.
if you require complete separation, use a different user login for each open data file which will then maintain separation of the user configuartion files.
