What I expected to happen was...:
Minecraft launches in a new window.
What actually happened was...:
New Minecraft icon (the crafting bench) appears in the Dock and promptly goes away.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download Minecraft.dmg
2. Copy Minecraft.app to Applications directory (overwriting existing Minecraft.app)
3. Launch Minecraft.app from the applications directory.
4. Confirm you want to launch an application downloaded from the web.
5. Click play.
6. Wait as 1.6.1 downloads.
7. Observe minecraft start and promptly exit.

duplicates
In addition to the above, I also tried 1.5.2 and 1.5.1 with the new launcher without success. The error message is unchanged.
I also deleted Minecraft.app and ~/Library/Application Support/minecraft and reinstalled without success.
I have a similar problem, I have windows 7 and the same error message pops up for me in the console, BUT minecraft NEVER opens up, not even for a second.
Exact same problem as Robert there must be a way anyone?
Same problem
I had an almost identical problem and error message with a Macbook running Mac OS 10.6.8 - the problem resolved immediately when I updated java to 1.6.0_51.
For update see http://www.java.com/en/download/help/mac_java_update.xml
I hope this works for you also. Good luck!
