I think it's probably a bug. IIRC the Emacs executable in the
Emacs.app directory is updated when you do a "make", and the above
code runs at the same time, otherwise you end up with an inconsistent
.app.

Clearly you get an inconsistent .app anyway.

I don't know why it works that way, I was never able to fully
understand how Emacs.app is built, and I guess someone either thought
it was a good idea or made a mistake.
