The OSGi spec says nothing about the Main-Class manifest header. It must be ignored by an OSGi framework. Only the Bundle-Activator header should be used to activate a bundle. This allows a jar to be a bundle and a jar. See the BND bundle from Peter Kriens. This one jar is a java application, a bundle (eclipse plugin), an ant task and a maven plugin.
So this sounds like a bug/feature of knopflerfish.

Subject: [osgi-dev] Main-Class mainfest header
Is there a defined standard interpretation of Main-Class in the OSGi
world? I am having a lot of trouble taking regular jars and converting
them in to bundles because they have a Main-Class directive, and my OSGi
runtime (Knopflerfish) tries to look for an activate method in the
declared Main-Class.
Thank you
Nikunj Mehta
