It could be necessary for some sort of installer that needs to restart the OS and then needs to run something afterwards. (Some of Apple's firmware updaters do this.) But yeah, I can think of very few cases where it would be needed...

Um, he said "run an _application_". That's not the appropriate documentation for that.
The right thing to do is to add the app as a login item, and then when the app launches, have it remove itself. (Is there an official API yet for manipulating login items, or do you still have to mess with a .plist?)
