Could you try if converting the ".xib" file to a ".nib" file works  
(IIRC you can use Save As... in Interface Builder for that, otherwise  
it is a property in the NIB settings)?

The ".xib" files cannot be loaded directly by Cocoa but need to be  
compiled before they can be used. Xcode automaticly does this for you,  
released versions of py2app do no yet do that.  The version of py2app  
in subversion fixes this issue for regular builds, but not for alias  
builds (the -A flag).
