The most likely causes for this icon overlay that I've encountered:
1) The app is missing its executable (i.e. the Foo.app/Contents/MacOS/Foo)
2) The app's executable is built for the wrong architecture; i.e.:
    You're running on a G4, and the app is built for ppc64, i386 or x86_64
    You're running on a G5, and the app is built for i386 or x86_64
    You're running on a 32-bit Intel Mac, and the app is built for
ppc64 or x86_64
    You're running on a 64-bit Intel Mac, and the app is built for ppc64
