I vote for a new generator then. A Drag-N-Drop DMG generator == DDD? :-)
I prefer this to changing the bundle generator behavior.
Maybe just good documentation about the existing generators and what sorts of assumptions they make would be a good place to start. I think the main problem here is that people expect the "bundle generator" to deal with bundles properly, when in fact, what it does is create a bundle for you at packaging time. It's a name overloading / human understanding problem... not a problem with the code.
I would nuance this to suggest that the current MACOSX_BUNDLE behavior blurs the line between building and packaging, which causes much of the confusion. Arguably, a dmg+bundle IS-A package - so creating a bundle in the build directory is the wrong division of labor. If there was NSIS-specific stuff that got created in the build directory every time you specified WIN32_EXECUTABLE, we'd be having the same sort of confusion on Win32.
