We did exactly this and the problem still occurred.  My memory is fuzzy but
I think it occurred when you use MultiFinder and you create a document, save
it, make modifications, and save again in the same session.  You can see the
icon bouncing around in the Finder.  It has to do with the Finder info not
being set yet.  I think it also happens with files on the desktop even if
they were saved before you started up your application.  Try it with your
MacApp-built applications.  We don't interpret the Finder info either so
I don't know what you're doing differently.
