See this bug and its related issues for details:
http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=9744

The gist of it is that, yes, you do have to copy/install your plugins into
the bundle first before calling fixup_bundle. This is a change in behavior
between CMake 2.8.2 and 2.8.3 as a result of the above bug fix.


And to answer " And what does it mean "copying"? from where to where?":

Copying from outside the bundle somewhere to inside the bundle in its
"embedded" location. As it does with the automatically-pulled-in
prerequisite libraries.


HTH,
David
