When dealing with applications (application bundles) by name or path,
in Cocoa, when does it make a difference whether you use
App Name.app
example:
Front Row.app
or:
/Applications/Front Row.app

versus
App Name
example:
Front Row
or:
/Applications/Front Row


This seems to be pretty important, and I'm curious when and to what degree I should be cautious about the naming used in code. At this time I am mainly concerned about Apple apps themselves that should normally be in the system.

Subsequently, is there any difference concerning 10.3 / 10.4 / 10.5 ?

The difference is that App Name.app can be any App Name.app, whether or not it lies inside your bundle, the same directory as you bundle, or in a directory that is searched for bundles. /Applications/Front Row.app is /Applications/Front Row.app, and no other Front Row.app, even if there's a Front Row.app lying somewhere else where your application may look for them.

From what I know, there's no difference in the way the above works between different versions of Mac OS X.
