mlQuickLook generators in application

I am trying to add QuickLook support for my application but the 
QuickLook daemon does not seem to be recognizing my generator when I 
place it in my application package. The documentation states:

You can store a Quick Look generator in an application bundle 
(inMyApp.app/Contents/Resources/QuickLook/) or in one of the standard 
file-system locations:

~/Library/QuickLook—third party generators, accessible only to logged-
in user
/Library/QuickLook—third party generators, accessible to all users of 
the system
/System/Library/QuickLook—Apple-provided generators, accessible to all 
users of the system

but that does not seem to be true. If I copy my generator to ~/Library/
QuickLook it works fine, but if I put it in my app package at the 
specified location it is not found.

Is this an error in the docs or am I doing something wrong?
