I don't use Jar Bundler any more. I either use Xcode or I manually
duplicate an existing app-bundle then edit Info.plist and replace the other
bundled files. This avoids me having to manually re-enter all the settings
into Jar Bundler again, when it's so much simpler to use Property List
Editor.
That said, I'm not aware of any change to the .icns file format.
On the other hand, I vaguely recall that 10.4 will scale the 128x128 icon
to smaller sizes better than 10.3 will. If so, it might then depend on
exactly which of the pre-sized scaled icons are present in your .icns file.
For example, it may be that Jar Bundler or 10.3 itself requires sizes that
are missing in your .icns file. You didn't say whether your .icns
contained all sizes and masks or not, so that's just a guess.
The simplest way I know of to avoid the problem would be to not use Jar
Bundler, but to manually replace component files, e.g. icon, jar,
resources, etc. directly in your app-bundle.
If you wish, file a bug against Jar Bundler, too.
