I made a bug report about this one. Here is a workaround.

- Right-click or Control-click on the "Rob's Rev App" file in the 
Finder.
- Select "Show Package contents"
- Edit the file Contents/Info.plist (Use a text editor, or install the 
Developer Tools CD and you will have a useful app called "Property List 
Editor".)
- Change the values of CFBundleExecutable and CDBundleName to "Bob's 
Rev App" (or whatever, it doesn't have to match the name of your.app)
- Save that file
- Rename the executable Contents/MacOS/Revolution to 
Contents/MacOS/Bob's Rev App
- Run your app.

Voila! You can also change the copyright and get-info strings while you 
are editing Info.plist.
