Basically I'm whining about an obscure (and maybe irrelevant) finder inconsistency.. thanks for your help.... but

Given that Mac OS X uses extensions almost everywhere, why do you not want an extension? What about just hiding the extension?
Historically our plugins have no extension, and are identified by file type (they're not code fragments anymore (!), but a bundle still has a type and creator). We could introduce an extension, but I wouldn't want to do this without fully evaluating the possibility of no extension.

It seems like you're trying to swim upstream. How about just having a .bundle extension (since it is a bundle), then hide the extension in the Finder? That way you're adhering to the OS's apparent requirement that bundles have an extension as well as sort of satisfying your aesthetic of having no extension.
