FWIW, the solution was to programmatically add the binding after adding
the first item to the array.

I have a popup's selectedIndex bound to an NSArrayController's
selectionIndex property. This allows the popup to display a text field
of the currently selected array element, but it has an interesting
(and undesirable) side effect. When the underlying array is empty, the
popup displays a large integer value: 2147483647. Once I add an
element, the integer disappears and the popup works nicely.
Is this binding the proper way to do this? It's the closest I can get
to the desired popup behavior: show a blank when the list is empty and
show a label from the selected object when it's not.
I've tried a few other things, like setting the No Selection and Null
Placeholder to "0". These changes had no effect. I also tried a
different binding altogether: binding the popup's selectedValue to the
NSArrayController's selection.label property. That binding results in
odd behavior. I can add one element, but subsequent new elements don't
show up in the popup. Even still, that approach was somewhat
encouraging--with the No Selection Placeholder set to a single space,
my popup started out blank, like I wanted.
Is the proper technique to use my original binding, but delay it until
after the first element is added?
