Indeed - thanks for noticing and reporting this! On my system I even
have the option to open these profiles with the Qwaq or Scratch VMs ;)
Apparently the Squeak VM's info.plist registers itself as editor for
the type BNDL. Squeak plugins are "BNDLFAST" and profiles are
"BNDL????" so to the Finder both match BNDL.
I do not know why John added BNDL as document type, I guess we can
just remove that. The icon is stored in each plugin so that can't be
the reason. John?

It shouldn't hurt in any way. I do not know how to remove a file
association, I think you can only use the Finder's File Info dialog to
select a different default app, but not remove it.
