Dear John,
SOLVED. Thanks for the pointers, your comment that gnucash was stuck
waiting for something else to happen got me wondering what else might be
pending in the MacOS and eventually led to the solution. My anti-virus
software (Webroot Secureanywhere) wasn't yet working on Catalina.
No AppleScript will affect a Gtk application's coordinates, Gtk manages the
screen itself and gets each monitor's coordinates from Quartz Display Services.
No matter, that's not the problem:
The spindump says that GnuCash hasn't even started. It's hung in
AppleSystemPolicy::waitForEvaluation.
Dear David and John,
Thanks for the suggestion. I do in fact regularly use multiple
external monitors. On the off chance that matters, I unplugged them all
and went to just my main laptop screen only. Repeated all my tests and
gnucash is still sleeping and unresponsive (with no windows).
Chris,
Any chance you have or had a second monitor on your system?

I can confirm that in System Preferences->Security &
Privacy->Privacy->Files and Folders Gnucash is shown as "Full Disk Access"
as a result of me adding it to the Full Disk Access list earlier in my
debugging. Out of curiosity, I removed it from the Full Disk Access

Chris,
Under System Preferences->Security & Privacy->Privacy->Files and Folders, does
Gnucash.app have access to the Documents Folder (or the folder where your
Gnucash data file lives?
Also, try again running from the terminal and add the --nofile option
