Because a bundle is a "special" directory, not /home/yourname or / 
etc. Its sole purpose is to have the appropriate content at the  
correct location. It is usually not modified manually by the user but  
by an application knowing the format.

If you want to have configuration files everywhere I see two  
possibilities:

a) Make it dependent on the bundle extension.
"qemu -c Machine.qvm" (bundle) vs. "qemu -c dir/yourConfig" (config)

b) Use different command line switches.
"qemu -bundle Machine.qvm" vs. "qemu -c yourConfig"
