I recall this and even as a child, it seemed to be  artificial.
To say that you have to make the brocho on fruit 
and that the  motzi didn't cover it, but as long as you
have the bread with the fruit, then  you are exempted 
from making the brocho begs the question. It  almost
appears to be some type of fabrication. 

.... It is  totally illogical.

The reasoning is something like this:
 
Bread IS the meal and the reason you don't have to make brachos on  
everything else is that everything else comes to accompany the bread.
 
Fruit is dessert and dessert is not part of the meal, so requires a  
separate bracha.  Unless you are still eating bread, in which case the  fruit /is/ 
part of the meal and doesn't need a separate bracha.
