I don't see how this has to do with UIStoryboard. It's about the stated effect of definesPresentationContext on presentingViewController. I do now understand what's really going on with that, I think, and I state my understand in the iOS 5 revision of Chapter 19 of my book:

I did find that blog post on UIStoryboard very helpful for focussing my formulation of why storyboards, as you say, don't feel ready for prime time. m.
