The next thing I'd try would be to go to the Build Rules tab of the Target editor and click the Copy to Target option in the entry for file.bplist. Change the action to PBXcp.
If it works, your target won't be able to handle actual binary plists. However, copying may good enough for most purposes. You'd have to be sure your Info.plist precursor stayed text.plist, because that has to go through the plist preprocessor.
I don't have a test case set up, but the experiment shouldn't be much trouble for you.
