My non-expert belief is that, in the case of mysqllvm EBS storage, the bundle is a snapshot of the EBS volume of the master (the slaves don't use EBS - except when starting up - a volume is created from the last snapshot and attached in order to get the MySQL data files from which to re-start replication). A backup, I think is just a .tar.gz file saved to S3. It is probably the MySQL data files, but may be a .sql export (not sure - never looked).
In the case of LVM storage, the bundle process uses LVM to snapshot the ephemeral volume. Not sure what form the bundle is stored in - perhaps directly as-is to S3? (haven't tried this storage option). At least one slave instance must be running to use backup (not sure about bundle), probably because it halts writing/replication so that the snapshot is in a consistent FS state. My 2cents. -David.
