The MACOSX_PACKAGE_LOCATION source file property was created
for marking individual source files.  The possibility of marking
a (framework) directory with the property was never considered
AFAIK.  For Xcode it may work by accident.  I would not be opposed
to a change to make something like this work for directories too,
but someone would have to investigate it.

Meanwhile take a look at the BundleUtilities module:

 http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.3/module/BundleUtilities.html

and its fixup_bundle() helper.  They are meant for preparing
complete bundles for packaging and distribution.
