ideviceinstaller doesn't archive application's container on iOS8.

ideviceinstaller doesn't archive application's container with Documents/Library folders, like it did on iOS6 & iOS7. On iOS8 the archive contains application's bundle only.

console log contains the following related information:

In iOS 8, Apple separated the apps from it's data. You can see this with AFC over House Arrest: before iOS 8, the .app package and the data folders were all visible, but on iOS 8 only the data is visible. I predict this is in preparation for multiple user accounts :-)

Did you compare the archive to what iTunes produces? I suspect it is affected similarly.

Apple knows why they changed this...
Confirming this behavior with iOS 8:

installd[40] <Notice>: ... Client specified archive type DocumentsOnly, but we only support ApplicationOnly; ignoring.

However, as we can't control the archive process in this regard I don't understand the purpose of this ticket and thus closing it. :)
