The daemon does basically nothing until a user activates

So, yes, it is by design and, yes, we consider it to be a bug and
am working towards a different solution in a future release. No
need to file a bug on this particular issue.
If you want to permanently disable it:
sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/
com.apple.dnbobserver.plist
Just remember to re-enable it if you want to use DNB:
sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/
com.apple.dnbobserver.plist

Beware! Do not copy and paste this into Terminal. There should not
be a space between /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/ and
com.apple.dnbobserver.plist. It could completely hose your system.
I copy / pasted the unload line. And everything is running fine. I
did check the Activity Monitor, and bfobserver is no longer
running. Could the potential system hosing happen with a restart?
(goes off to back up important files).

I had some spinning pinwheels and dock bouncing with a number of
apps, including Finder, but I was finally able to shutdown using
Terminal. When I restarted, however, it hung forever at the blue
screen. I tried a number of things that didn't work. What did work
was to boot from my install DVD and run launchctl from there. I
believe I typed something like "launchctl load -w /Volumes/<my HD
name>/System/Library/LaunchDaemons". I was then able to reboot
successfully. If you do that, I'd suggest disconnecting from the
internet, because a bunch of your services will be on. I turned some
off via the Sharing pane in System Preferences, and for the rest of
the daemons, I did my best to figure out on my own which should be on
and which disabled. The Darwin sources helped a lot (http://
darwinsource.opendarwin.org/Current/). I ended up unloading the
following plist files:
bootps, com.apple.dnbobserver, com.apple.dnbvolunteer,
com.apple.xgridagentd, com.apple.xgridcontrollerd, comsat, distccd,
eppc, exec, finger, ftp, login, nmbd, ntalk, org.isc.named, printer,
shell, smbd, ssh, swat, telnet, tftp
The rest of them should stay enabled, I think. Of course, that's
just the default configuration, so you may want some additional
things enabled.
