I usually reference it directly in the setup.py module:

from distutils.core import setup
import py2app

plist = dict(
     ...
     CFBundleIconFile = "Thumbscrew.icns",
     ...)

setup(
     data_files = [...
                   "Resources/Thumbscrew.icns",
                   ...],
     app = [dict(
         script="ThumbscrewAppDelegate.py", plist=plist),
            ],
     )

And have had no troubles with it. The non-effect of updating the  
plist might be cached launch services stuff?
