Is there anything particularly wrong with using the following?

It'll work if that's what you mean, perhaps where you could improve is upon the extensibility.  I haven't thought this through very much but perhaps a slightly more extensible version would be:
Dictionary<Type, Form> m_SingleInstanceForms = new Dictionary<Type, Form>();
protected Dictionary<Type, Form> SingleInstanceForms
{
    get { return this.m_SingleInstanceForms; }
}

protected virtual void ActivateChildForm<T>() where T : Form, new()
{
    if (!this.SingleInstanceForms.ContainsKey(typeof(T)))
    {
        T newForm = new T();
        this.SingleInstanceForms.Add(newForm);
        newForm.MdiParent = this;
    }
    Form formToActivate = this.SingleInstanceForms[typeof(T)];
    formToActivate.Show();
    formToActivate.Activate();
}

private void toolStripButton1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    this.ActivateChildForm<uxLoginForm>();
}
Now you have one method which will activate (and if required, create) any class derived from System.Windows.Forms.Form.
