Very strange NSImage loading problem

I have an application with a custom UI which uses vector-based PDFs for all images.

I'm now seeing what appears to be an image loading problem. I believe I first saw this a couple of years back, but it would only occur rarely when running the application via the debugger. Now, I'm able to reproduce it about 20% of the time when running the demo flavor of the app from Finder.

But, only a single image is not being loaded properly. And, such image happens to always be the very first image that is loaded by the app. The image was created with Illustrator and is a simple rounded- rectangle filled with a gradient. The background is transparent. When it doesn't load correctly, the entire bounds of the image is filled by the gradient. It's as if the 'clipping path' of the gradient is not being applied.

If I edit my main nib's first loaded button to point to a different image, that image will sometimes fail. Thus, I know it's not an issue with the PDF images themselves.

Has anyone else seen any issues like this with PDFs being loaded into NSImage instances?

As a workaround, I'm going to create a dummy image (duplicate of the PDF in question; just renamed) that I'll load at app startup. Perhaps there is some PDF functionality that isn't always being initialized?

I'm going to also post this to quartz-dev, so may continue the thread there.
