I think it should be as long as part of the binary diff includes the new
signature. As long as the final signature matches the final bundle, it
shouldn't matter how it got that way.

Oh yes. One of my project's .app bundle is over 70MB (and over 100MB when
you include all localizations). The vast majority of that is resources that
seldom change. I would very much like to push incremental updates. The
majority of our users will move from release n-1 to n (and we're using
Sparkle to help ensure that).
