That feels a bit like the gimp no more "saving" but "exporting" images to png:
It is logical in a way. But you have to explain the logic first to every single user. Normally if you have a word/excel/... Document "open" opens documents and "insert" inserts images into this document. Here the project feels like being individual images being open at the same time so it feels like "open" would add additional ones. If you set the filter to "all files" hugin actually tells you that, tells how to add images to a project the canonical way and offers to do what you actually want: to open the image files and to add them to the project. If I don't use hugin for a while I still keep trying to open images, though, the first time I want to add images instead of adding them to the project => allowing "open" to just add images would perhaps make the program more intuitive. Hiding additional functionality here (logic that determines automatically if the user wants to merge projects,...) perhaps won't, though, in my personal opinion.
