Does it actually make any sense to set the bundle bit of a bundle
when you could simply use a UTI declaration?

I haven't followed this thread but... yes.

For example, if you have an Xcode project document (.xcodeproj, which is
a bundle) on a computer that does not have Xcode.app, the Finder shows
this document as a folder.


If the bundle bit is set (which Xcode doesn't do), then Finder shows it
as a generic document icon. Much better user experience.

Is there a way to get Finder to show the document icon? For instance including and referring to the icon in the Info.plist the way that an app bundle handles it?

You have to use a custom icon.

/Developer/Tools/SetFile -a C some.framework

Then inside the framework folder you'll need a file named "Icon\r" with an 'icns' resource ID -16455 and with it's invisible bit set.
