Rob,
I would not trust Rev to compress a MacOS X app. The app can be a bundle, it can have strange resource forks... there are many issues. I would applescript the compression using stuffit or another alternative. There are some cool macintosh utilities that come bundled in macos x that can compress/decompress apps, they should all be accessible by applescript or shell() command.... it's not pure transcript haven but it will solve your problem I think.
Also, I think that some way back Richard or Chipp create a compressin/decomprerssion utility stack in rev... search the archives.

I've been looking through the archives, and it's sounding to me like there is
an issue with compression/decompression in Rev, but only in Mac OS X. I
think I'm now witnessing this firsthand:
1) put compress(URL "binfile://InstallAIM") into URL "binfile://InstallAIM4.7.gz"
This compresses the original "InstallAIM4.7" file from 3,559,694 bytes to
3,098,808 bytes (.gz file)
2) put decompress(URL "binfile://InstallAIM4.7.gz") into URL "binfile://InstallAIMresult"
This then takes that .gz file and decompresses it back to "InstallAIMresult",
which is 3,367,676 bytes.
It appears that what's going in is not what's coming out. Should I be doing
something else to this file before compressing it to make this work? Are OS
X apps "special" in some way?
