Summary:
In Finder's Get Info window, the "Change All" button in Finder's Get Info dialog behavior is seriously broken if you have multiple versions of a single app.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Install two versions of any app, e.g. Finale 2012 and 2014.
2.  Choose a file for that app and open a Get Info window for it in Finder.
3.  Choose the older version of the app, then choose "Change All".

Expected Results:
I expected the older .mus file format to always open in Finale 2012 from then on, and for the newer, non-backwards-compatible .musx files to continue opening in Finale 2014.

Actual Results:
I get the dialog asking me if I really want to update the launch services database to open a different app when I double-click one of those files.  I tell it to continue.  Then, the "Open With" pop-up changes back to Finale 2014.

Version:
10.9.3
