It's a bug... Back in March, it was reported that Revolution itself wasn't
appearing to be scriptable, and it was because it was missing an
al-important "Revolution.rsrc" file that should have been in the bundle.
Apparently this has been fixed for Rev, but the Standalone Builder doesn't
know to move and modify a copy of this file into standalones.

Go into the bundle, and copy Contents/Resources/Revolution.rsrc into the
same place in the bundle of your standalone. Change the name of the .rsrc
file to match the name of your standalone (i.e. the same name as the
'engine' file, which is located in Contents/MacOS), and you should be good
to go.
