I have the classic .dmg approach to installation, where a disk image
includes an alias for /Applications and the user drags the app icon to
it. On 10.12, the alias appears to point to nothing, and has a generic
file icon.

The disk image should contain a symbolic link to /Applications, which looks like an alias but is a different animal. An alias contains more information, and might be trying too hard to match a *specific* Applications folder.
