I came up with a workaround that's a bit of a kludge, I created a subclass
of NSWindow called NoCascadeWindow, with one function:

- (NSPoint)cascadeTopLeftFromPoint:(NSPoint)topLeftPoint
{
NSString* sStr = [self frameAutosaveName];
if ((sStr!=nil)&&([sStr length]>0))
return topLeftPoint;
else
return [super cascadeTopLeftFromPoint:topLeftPoint];
}

Opening a new window over an existing window won't position properly, but
opening multiple new windows will.
