Steven Tamm has found a solution to this problem.  Please see his
message posted earlier to the mailing list.

Unexec for Mac OS X is implemented in unexmacosx.c.  TeX writes out
format files in a way that is different from how Emacs does unexec.  For
one the former are data files while the latter are executable files.
