My understanding is that Finder decides that frameworks are user browsable because they're directories, but not packages. Applications are not user browsable because they descend from com.apple.package. The bundle type says something about how the directory's contents are arranged; the package type says something about how it should be presented to the user. You can have either, both, or neither.
I'm not sure whether this is now classed as legacy behaviour, but on HFS+ at least, Finder looks at the "bundle bit" to determine whether something is treated as a bundle or just an ordinary folder.
You can see this if you use /Developer/Tools/SetFile to set the bundle bit for a folder (e.g. /Developer/Tools/SetFile -a B MyFolder).
