Is this an intended behaviour?
Bundles are more accurately identified via (gasp!) bundle
identifiers, not names, which are easily changed/mangled by the
user. I've honestly never tried installing two copies of the same
application in the same folder before, but I can't think of a good
reason why I'd need to, either, so I think it's understandable if
the Installer is getting confused by what you're asking it to do.
But if you e.g. install two different versions (myDemo App 1.0 and
myDemo App 2.0) of the same app (still having the same bundle
identifier) then you do NOT want this behavior.
Take iWorks e.g. you have version 06 and version 08 and both of the
Keynote apps have the same bundle identifier.
So this "smart" behaviour of the installer is not good, at least not
as the default mode.
