Sorry for digging up an old thread but I wanted to give you another option.
I've been in the exact same situation with creating Dash docsets. My solution was to - right-click on the docset in the Finder - choose Show Package Contents - drag the Contents folder into the BBEdit Project file listing just below the actual .docset entry - right-click on the Contents entry and choose Rename... - Rename the Contents entry to be the same as the docset filename. This only renames the entry within the Project list, not the actual folder name. So you will see 2 entries named the same in the Project but one has the docset icon and the other has a folder icon. As you have seen, you can't expand the docset but you will be able to expand the renamed Contents folder. Hope this helps.
