Since GeneratorRunner contains an application (generatorrunner) and a library (genrunner) the installation file hierarchy should be, for what I have understand, something equivalent to the example given in http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake:Bundles_And_Frameworks#Framework_.2B_Unix_tools

I tried messing with RUNTIME DESTINATION setting it to "bin" but that didn't help.

Hmm, I thought CMake would be able do it by itself since it also constructs all the framework tree including the Versions/, Headers/, and Resources/ symlinks.
