I've seen this behavior even with cross-platform apps. The problem is that the Finder checks to see whether the app is runnable before the copy has completed, so the app looks corrupted from the Finder's perspective.

The workaround is to copy the app with a temporary name for the bundle (e.g. prefix a dot, to hide it), then rename it when the copy completes (e.g. remove the prefixed dot). That gives the Finder a hint to re-check it.

I think it does this to newly-downloaded applications that haven't been run before. _______________________________________________
