I have two machines running MacOS 26 (Tahoe). GnuCash works fine on both. Lately, after every software update, the first time I open GnuCash, I get a message warning me it is in use by another program. I just click on "Open Anyway", and it works fine, including switching data files.

I *think* that’s a macOS crash rather than something to do with GnuCash itself: The only reason GnuCash (or any Gtk app) would start a run loop is to show a modal dialog box and there would be a call to gtk_dialog_run on the stack. You’re right that the Gtk change between 5.12-1 and 5.12-2 wouldn’t have anything to do with it.
