This is IMHO a perfect example of the problems incurred by the "autorelease accessors" school of thought. Everybody realizes what a waste and potential performance issue it is, but we may have to stick with that because some brain dead code may depends on this "feature".

Bertrand Serlet from Apple wrote, many many years ago around the release of NEXTSTEP 3, an informal document about the differences between the retain/release model and the more traditional garbage collection model. As usual with Bertrand's work, the document was very well written, fairly easy to comprehend and for anyone in doubt, it became clear why the retain/release model was the best (in the given circumstances).
