I've never seen this one before. What does it mean? How can a disk image make my computer less secure?

Since the DMG is sealed the OS doesn't know what it is, it's just a protection measure. If you know what you are opening is safe than don't worry about it.

Then why doesn't this dialog pop up for all DMGs?

Where did you get the DMG from?

D/L'd from an independent software developer. Double-checking which one ... I believe from http://www.myownapp.com/

I think the warning is simply alerting you that the image may be corrupt. Not sure how this could make your system less secure by trying to open it. I would try downloading the image file again and see if you still get the warning.
