Summary:
When the Spotlight menu finds an alias to an application, selecting it shows the contents of the application bundle (as a folder) instead of launching the application.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create an alias to an application
2. Search for it with Spotlight
3. Choose the alias in the search results

Expected Results:
The application launches

Actual Results:
A Finder window opens with the contents of the application bundle.

Regression:
I believe that it is a Lion regression, don't have a pre-Lion machine to test with right now.
