As an alternative, you could test for some key combo held down on launch, like iPhoto or iTunes does to allow one to pick a different library to load from. See the key combo at launch time, and you can go down a different code path that doesn't access the preferences at all and resets/deletes them, then continue on to normal launch after that.
