Personally I think that behaviour would be pretty confusing as I'd argue the 
CPACK_BUNDLE_NAME should be set by default to the project name, for instance.

I think the Bundle generator should (continue to) create the bundle, not rely 
on one from MACOSX_LOCATION and that you should probably just change your 
buildsystem rather than trying to change the generator to meet a scenario that 
only you seem to want. Sorry to be blunt, apologies for my rudeness, I just 
want to make sure that the Bundle generator improves its consistency in CPack 
rather than getting worse.
