Could you create an alias (or dynamic link) from the bundle to the app directory? I don’t know if that would be any advantage, but at least you wouldn’t have to include two different copies of the mainstack. 

Beyond that, this seems like a bug to me (LiveCode recently changed the way they look for files in Mac .app bundles, and this may have been an unintended consequence.) It might be worth a bug report.
