Probably confusion around the name.
Major Bebop scale goes: 1 2 3 4 5 b6 6 7 as corresponding to a standard major scale.
In C:
C D E F G Ab A B
The b6 is the characteristic note. A chromatic passing tone. I've just come to the understanding that when creating chord progressions for a Bebop solo, you don't have to focus too much on inluding chords in which the b6 note is present. It's basically used as a passing tone anyway, you could just 'pretend' you're creating any other regular major sounding chord progression.
Any inputs?
