Just to make things clear. A .dmg file is a disk image and treated on
Mac like a real disk. The DMG file comes in different formats: HFS,
HFS+, UFS, ProDOS, Linux, and Fat32 and so may also require special
mounting software to account for the format. So DMG doesn't mean HFS.

The proof the Philipp case. The file command clearly tells that the type
is "bzip2 compressed data" . You just have to uncompress the dmg file
with bzip2 then mount the resulting file which is of type hfsplus in
this case.

$ bunzip2 javafx_sdk-1_0-macosx-universal.dmg
$ sudo mount -t hfsplus ./javafx_sdk-1_0-macosx-universal.dmg.out /mnt -o loop
$ ls /mnt
javafx_sdk-1_0.mpkg

VoilĂ .

I'm closing this report because there is no obvious bug here until
someone can provide a valid hfs archive to test with.

Don't hesitate to submit any new bug.
