Jeez, my mistake again, I mixed up the two cases in the description:
- Change user name in lock file: this will behave as expected, dialog comes to
front,
- Change profile location in lock file: this will not, dialog stays in
background (in this case the dialog shows "Open" instead of "Open Copy" in the
middle).

Let me write down my steps correctly this time, all this has to be repeated
with the same LO installation:
1. Save an empty document.
2. Copy and edit its lock file by changing profile location (last entry),
3. Close document, copy back the lock file.
4. Start a new document, I did from command line (to have an LO window open).
5. From command line, open the existing document by giving it as parameter to
soffice.

=> The dialog doesn't show in front.

If it does, cancel out, go back to command line and try again step 5.

Mind you, the behavior can be different with slightly different steps. I used
to test by opening an existing document instead of an empty one in step 4. Then
it mattered if you just canceled out of the dialog, or also alt-tabbed back to
the previously open document, or clicked back into the previously open
document. Then the bug was only reproducible with the 3rd variant.
However, with an empty document this doesn't seem to matter... strange (it
seems the complications of steps started in 6.0, possibly by Caolan's change).

It's easy to get confused by all these tiny details that matter here...
