There's nothing odd about it. It's simple memory management rules. The moment you remove the object from the dictionary the dictionary is no longer an owner and since you've not retained it, neither are you. If nobody else is, it's subject to dealloc as soon as the dictionary releases it If it so happens it is on an outer autorelease pool on PPC that's just lucky.

I think there is a warning about this in the documentation too.
