Promised Drags/Spring-Loaded Folders: Buggy in 10.2?

I am noticing some very weird behavior in a Cocoa app I am writing
which uses the new (in 10.2) dragPromisedFilesOfType: method of NSView.
It happens very inconsistently, but often enough that it is making me
very reluctant to release my app (which is basically finished except
for this problem).
Basically, the weirdness occurs when I attempt to do a promised drag
into a *subfolder* of a currently opened Finder folder. If
spring-loaded folders are enabled, and I release the drag before the
subfolder actually "springs," about 75% of the time the selection
highlighting of objects in the parent folder stops working. I can
still click on the files or folders, open them, etc., but their icons
won't show as selected. This problem goes away if you simply close and
re-open the folder in the Finder, but, of course, in the case of the
desktop, the only way to resolve the problem is to restart the Finder.
Also, sometimes doing a subsequent drag will also "kick" the Finder
back into its normal behavior.
No visible errors are produced on the console at any point in this
process, and in all cases the creation of the promised files in their
correct locations happens flawlessly.
Can anyone (particularly anyone from Apple) tell me whether this is a
known bug, or if it sounds like a bug at all (as opposed to something
I'm doing incorrectly)? If it is a bug, is it going to be addressed in
10.2.2 (I suppose I could download the seeds, but last time I tried
that the keyboard on my Powerbook stopped working :-)?
I would be glad to provide code and more information as necessary, and
I would very sincerely appreciate any guidance anyone could offer on
this issue (as I said, it is currently the only thing preventing the
release of an application I have been working on for a long time).
