After installing from Minecraft.dmg I ran the launcher once. It went through the download process and Minecraft upgrade completed successfully.
Minecraft launcher runs fine, at least from the command line.
When I click Play, however, the process ends with an IOException.
It appears that the launcher is looking for /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java, whereas after I installed Apple Java, the location is directly under /Library (no /System): /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java.
Setting JAVA_HOME does not help:
$ JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk
