MacVim works like this: each window runs its own Vim process. Opening a file from Finder results in the MacVim app getting a request to open a file (mvim:// handler requests also end up here). At this point MacVim will look at your preferences and respect those. When opening a file from Terminal (with "mvim") you are actually starting a new Vim process manually and this process connects to the MacVim app which responds by opening up a new window. This is why "mvim" always opens a new window. (Maybe this is too much information, but there you go.)
On the contrary, it's good to know exactly how this all works. Thanks for taking the time to type it all out.
