Bishop moves to g2 checkmate of it doesn't check the king.

If it does then the king walks back towards the rook. Until it takes it or the rook doesn't check the king ending the game

It gets all very messy if black doesn't take the bate it seems

In what position? After 1. Bc6 Rb1+ 2. Ke2 Rb2+ 3. Kd3 Black doesn't have anything but spite checks. And if ...g2, White can now safely go Qc1 with quick checkmate to follow via Qh6+ (since g2 is covered by the bishop).
