Is this just one of the things we have to put up with as the price for dynamism or can this problem be pre-empted? I added a name space prefix to my method definition and the exception departed.

Yes. To avoid these kinds of collisions, if you add a category method to an external class you should add some sort of hopefully-unique prefix to its name. In my Mooseyard software I use the same prefix I use for my class names ("MY") only lowercased, with an underscore — e.g. -[NSString my_rot13].
