I looked at the last appbundler source I have downloaded, which may not be current. But saw no support for APP_ROOT in main.m.
To be sure you could download the latest and check yourself. 
From this, APP_ROOT would not work, you might show how you specified fullpath? Path wrong could still be a reason it doesn't work that doesn't mean a bug.

In the most current version of the source that I have, again possibly not the actual latest - then it should work application launched. 
The source has…

// Get the VM options
    NSArray *options = [infoDictionary objectForKey:@JVM_OPTIONS_KEY];
    if (options == nil) {
        options = [NSArray array];
    }

	…

    // Initialize the arguments to JLI_Launch()
    int argc = 1 + [options count] + 2 + [arguments count] + 1;
    char *argv[argc];

    int i = 0;
    argv[i++] = commandName;
    argv[i++] = strdup([classPath UTF8String]);
    argv[i++] = strdup([libraryPath UTF8String]);

    for (NSString *option in options) {
        argv[i++] = strdup([option UTF8String]);
    }

So it just copies in the options, no editing, skipping or additions. Should be just like command line.

So if path is good, and it doesn't correctly handle the splash option, then something is broken somehow that isn't broken in command line and you probably have a bug report?
