I was going to try and find some earlier, but developer.apple.com was
being crap. Anyway, you can't link against MH_BUNDLE, and you can
unload MH_BUNDLEs... You can't really load MH_DYLIBs in the same way,
they are linked at compile time. I don't think it's terribly well
documented, and it's confusing because things like Linux don't make a
distinction between them.

The docs you point to refer to one of the meanings of the word
"bundle", as in "CFBundle". When you talk about the linker, bundle
refers to Mach-O files of type MH_BUNDLE. I'm sure the people on
darwin-development will be able to help you out further.
