Yes, I should have known it wasn't that -- I used one in the previous version of my app, and it worked OK for the other items.
Toolbar items can be either simple toolbar items -- you give it an image and it behaves like a button -- or other controls, including "normal" buttons, search fields, segmented controls, etc.. Apart from the View segmented control, in my old version I used standard toolbar items, and they behaved correctly. With Yosemite I've moved to adding "normal" buttons to the toolbar instead, because that gives more the Yosemite look (outlining in background, and so on). So it seems to be related to that somehow. Script Editor looks to have made the same sort of change, and some of Script Debugger's toolbar items weren't standard ones.
That still doesn't explain the Finder's behavior, but maybe they worked around the problem with items that have menus.
I'm a bit surprised that there are so many quirks in toolbar items, given the emphasis on appearance in Yosemite -- seems to me it's the sort of release where these things would be ironed out. But there are lots of small oddities.
