Apple does the same thing. Try to update Aperture if it is not at the root level of the Applications folder or has been renamed (with version number in the name for example).
Adobe does it. (Try to move any component of Creative Suite and it will thereafter claim to be "damaged")
And, of course, Microsoft does it. (Try to remove "Microsoft" from the name "Microsoft Word" and it will thereafter not be found by updaters.)
This is one of the things that makes me really grumpy. I complain but no one listens. So don't just grump on the developer here. He's following the leaders.
