2) Since this also could be a bug on my end, does anyone have any tips on how to debug this? It would seem useful if there was a way to determine what objects are retaining a given object but, other than subclassing retain and release to add some NSLog's to find out *when* the retains and releases are happening I haven't any idea on whether this might be possible


Hi Rick,
It is very easy to do this!

Run Object Alloc
Be sure to check "also record CF & ObjC reference counting" and "keep backtraces".
Run your app and do the operations
Find your objects in the list and look at the references -- you can see the retain/release counts and find out what did a retain without a release.
