This is what works for me when I put externals into the app bundle:

set the externals of this stack to 
"myApp.app/Contents/MacOS/revxml.bundle"

Note that you have to use the message box to set it, because using the 
properties inspector won't let select a Folder, e.g. revxml.bundle as 
the external property. That's a bug.

Yes it seems inconsistent but that's how it's working.

the filename of this stack = The folder of 
your.app/Contents/MacOS/Revolution
the defaultFolder = The folder of your.app bundle
