and in floating point, all operations including division by zero have a perfectly defined result.

I just wonder why Audacity uses that linear scale That goes way back to the origins of when Audacity was first created. Personally, I'd prefer a dB scale, which would be consistent with the dB scale of the meters, and most of Audacity's effects (such as "Amplify" and "Normalize"...

I just don't know how to trigger Audacity to open it as a project without the AUP file.

You need the AUP file. Without the AUP file, you've just got a bucket full of audio fragments and no information about how they fit together.

If you find a way to reproduce the error at will, please do tell us.
