Me and Jianwu have further investigated this bug, and have determined that the
issue arises simply because the environment when you double-click Kepler.app is
very different than when you invoke Kepler from the command-line. The issues
with this bug go away if you open Kepler.app from the command line with the
"open" command (since that would give you the same environment as if you open
Kepler with kepler.sh from the command-line).

The only possible solution I can think of is for Kepler.app to invoke some sort
of script which then opens a terminal session that then invokes Kepler. But it
is uncertain whether this solution would work or whether it would be worth
doing. In any case, if this is worth doing, it should be done in a future
release.

I am re-targeting this bug for 2.3.0 so we can discuss it and decide how we
want to proceed later.
