It has been stated on this list (http://www.cocoabuilder.com/archive/message/cocoa/2007/5/2/182751

(void)drawBackgroundInRect:(NSRect)rect;"
I haven't found a method of that name in any documentation,
including NSRulerView.h. Is this a private method?
Yes
Is it safe to rely on it?
In that it's never safe to rely on undocumented private methods, no.
Not only can they go away or do something else, people using them have
caused Apple engineers to have to make special workarounds to try to
keep things from breaking in future versions (there is some special
behavior with table views, for example, that is based on what SDK you
link against - pretty much my definition of an ugly workaround).
Or am I embarrassing myself by overlooking something simple?
Your "spidey sense" was spot on...
