I get it now, it has to do with when setup() and method modifiers run:

  package MyApp;
  ...

  before finalize => sub { .... };

  __PACKAGE__->setup( ... );

fails, but

  package MyApp;
  ...

  __PACKAGE__->setup( ... );
  before finalize => sub { .... };

works.

looks to me like a "Common gotchas" documentation.

  If you intend to use Moose's method modifiers in your app, do so
  /AFTER/ Catalyst->setup has been called.

or some such
