The whole point of a good interface is the appearance implies behavior.
I'm sad to say Apple's products have always broken their guidelines and it's a shame. I mean the QuickTime Player *STILL* has a decal which doesn't do anything (which was against the old guidelines, not sure about the Aqua ones but it ought to be).
Not only this but the guidelines are still incomplete. They filled in some holes like the behavior of shift versus command-click in tables, but they still haven't explained other things like the proper behavior of text selection (which is very important, and Cocoa's text view breaks the Mac convention BTW) and the behavior of commands like Save and Revert (which depend on whether a programmer is using NSDocuments, FSRefs, AliasHandles, or NSURLs to represent a file).
I get the odd feeling that there are groups of people within Apple who don't see eye-to-eye |-\
