Yes... this is caused by the hfsp tools bug.

You should not do any surgery on the ROM file... Just copy it as a
plain binary.

The System Folder is probably not blessed. When OSX and Classic
is on the same disk, the directory containing the OSX boot
loader (bootx) might become the blessed one.

I suggest you boot from the install CD (in MOL) and then just
move the Finder file from the System Folder to the Desktop and
back again. Once the System Folder has a nice icon, it is blessed.
