I seem to remember support for something like this being added. But am not sure.

It is probably not a problem in passing the JVMOption, I would guess about anything you say is a JVMOption is probably passed as is without much, if any, editing. If this is true then appbundler or infinitekind shouldn't matter. The problem would probably be the OS X port support of the splash option. Does it run command line? java -splash:path/to/image ... I think you would need the 1.8 JDK installed to check this.
