Hi Noah, I had a similar issue on OSX, and I found that the packaging workd OK when the contents of my directory was smaller. It crashed at something like 20MB, and worked at something like 3MB.
That might not help you .... but perhaps you can try removing some of the larger files ... just to test if the packager stops crashing. It looks like perhaps there is a size limit for the OSX packageing ... maybe a bug in the compression for large files? I too would prefer to remove Shoes 'branding' from the install. I'm sure there's a way to give Shoes the attention it deserves, without confusing our users (who will often not be developers) with multiple 'brands'.
