The first time you "RMB -> Open", as you put it, it won't allow you to open the app at all. You have to do it twice, only the second time does the button to actually open the app appear.

Both times the dialog boxes mention "malware". Both times the default button is "move to trash".

Gah, that really rankles me. Is it too much to ask to have an obvious keystore that allows the user to decide what signatures to trust? Ideally self-compiled binaries could be self-signed and still protect from attacker supplied binaries.
