However, on all subsequent runs, the sheet is displayed correctly "tied" to the window, and I can also close it correctly by sending it an orderOut: message.

I would think that's because the first time, not knowing where your code that creates that sheet is (probably before awakeFromNib), the "self.window" hasn't been set (it's nil) so the system thinks you just want to have your sheet displayed there. The 2nd time you run it, the "self.window" now points to the correct window which explains why the sheet is displayed correctly.
