NSWorkspace launch APIs don't work for non-universal on Intel?

Hello,

I have written a small launcher type utility that uses the 
NSWorkspace apis to launch the executable. I have noticed that on 
intel hardware, non-universal binaries fail to launch (actually they 
do launch, but they tend to die with something similar to the 
attached exception).

Is there a way of forcing the launch to happen with rosetta?
I have tried setting the Info.plist to have the key:

<key>LSPrefersPPC</key>
<true/>

but that doesn't seem to have any effect.
