Sounds to me like the best thing to do would be to file a bug report requesting Apple to fix this so that new applications come to the front after you dismiss the warning, since this seems like it’s pretty clearly a bug.
I suppose for the time being, you could use -[NSApplication activateIgnoringOtherApps:] in your application delegate’s applicationDidFinishLaunching: method as a workaround.
