Well, this was a bug and has been fixed in 2.1.2 according to 
bugzilla...

Did you rename the application AFTER you build a standalone?

Or did you get the message in the standalone builder after you entered 
something like
"my äpp" in the "name" field of the standalone builder?

The first could cause problems, because on OS X a bit more work is 
necessary than just
renaming the application... You will also have to change the approriate 
entry int the "Info.plist" file
inside the "Contents" folder inside your application...

Drop a line (offlist and in german, if you like ;-) to get more 
info/assistance...

The second works here...
