We reported this to Apple (that's what the rdar:// link is for, to add to the Radar bug tracking system). The "embarrassing" perhaps stems from our frustration and months of dealing with similar issues, but is something that should have easily been uncovered if apple did dogfooding of the technology before forcing it on developers.

I wrote it up as more of a public service announcement to other Mac developers who might be encountering the same issue.

The technology was obviously tested by Apple --they didn't just put something out there--, and it was also available for third party testers to test with the betas.

If nobody had found it at that point, why would Apple? Maybe it's not as common as you think.
