This will most likely be just a report which wont get fixed. I just create this issue for documentations sake.
OSX has various special folder/file suffixes including .app, .bundle, .framework, .plugin, .kext.
If somebody creates a folder called test.app the folder gets recognized as app.
This issue came up because we use the balloon api to create automated shares from ldap objects. There are course objects which may have the ending .app which results to this problem.
Anyway there is no way to tell if it is an .app or not. The same way one might also just rename a dummy file to .doc and the system tries to open it as .doc.
