Have you tried this from the end user's perspective? That is, drag- 
copy the app from a .dmg to your hard drive. When I tried that with  
an app I'm working on, Finder registered the extension with Launch  
Services no matter where I dropped the app.

Also, you're aware that Xcode can create the proper Info.plist  
entries for you, right? Just "Get Info" on the target, and the bottom  
half of the "Properties" pane has a list of registered extensions for  
the app.
