Dragging out a NSTableView from the Library in IB, and then changing
its type from NSTableView -> NSOutlineView doesn't work like you

(in IB) similar to what you would get if you dragged out a new
NSOutlineView from the Library to begin with. My recommendation
would be: "Don't do that".
Yeah, really.
The reason I didn't start over by dragging a new NSOutlineView into
the window is that it was a lot of trouble to configure the table
(struts and springs on the scroll view and the table view; min, max
and current columns widths; column naming, sorting and selection
options; row sizing and selection options; table column resizing
options; column cell class, size and alignment options; number
formatter assignment and options; column bindings; and more) and I
really didn't want to have to do all that work over again.
The reason that just changing the class looked like a viable option is
that IB makes it almost inviting to do so. In the Identity inspector
tab, if you pop up the object class menu, it lists *just* NSTableView
and NSOutlineView, which I took as an invitation to switch between the
classes freely. Who knew you weren't supposed to do what IB invited
you to do? :)
Yes, I'll submit bug reports for all these issues.
