[Bug] Installer.app and IFPkgFlagRelocatable lead to bad user experience on Snow Leopard

Let's say you have a metapackage with 2 bundle packages: Pack_A and PackB.

Pack_A installs things with '/' as the default install location.

Pack_B installs things with '/Applications/ as the default install location. Pack_B is relocatable (IFPkgFlagRelocatable is set to YES).

On Snow Leopard, when you reach the Select Destination pane one way or another (because the User Experience is chaotic when it comes to this step), the pane shows you that the top left volume of the list/ matrix of volumes is selected.

If you just continue and click Install, things will work fine.

If you click on the _selected volume_, the pane shows the volume still selected but the install location is now the '/Applications' folder for both packages.
