Is there something I can do to tell NSDocument (or whomever) that
these changes that it thinks are made by another application are on

fine by me. I'll go continue scouring the docs, but if someone has
a pointer, I'd appreciate it.
For changing the extension, you could try -[NSDocument setFileURL:]
after you change the extension (both to and from the temporary one).
You might also have to override -[NSDocument displayName] if you
don't want to show the temporary extension in the window title, but
that's purely cosmetic.
So, to "lock" the document, I get the current name, change the
extension, use NSFileManager to move the file from the "unlocked" name
to the "locked" name, call -setFileType: to the locked type, and call -
setFileURL: with the new, locked pathname converted to an NSURL. When
I then save the document, I get the following:
"This document has been renamed to "newname"
It will be saved under this new name, or you can provide another name.
[Save As] [Cancel] [Save]"
The code used to use -setFileName: instead, but that's deprecated in
10.5 (as of 10.4 actually).
Shirley there must be some way to tell the system "yes, I'm changing
this file name, yes, the user is already aware of it and would
appreciate you not annoying the living snot out of him by informing
him of this useless detail."
Calling -setFileModificationDate: had a similar affect on my other
issue (that is, nothing) but I used the other suggestion and moved the
actually modification of the bundle contents to the save function, and
that took care of that problem.
