The action needed for the customer to reproduce the crash is such a common one, that it seems that all other customers should hit the same issue. That makes me wonder if it's a problem of the customer's machine. The crash log is below.

This suggests a memory management bug. Something is invoking -popoverDidClose: on an NSRecursiveLock, which surely isn't what was supposed to receive that message. Usually this happens because the object that was supposed to receive it has been deallocated and another object (an NSRecursiveLock, in this case) has reused that memory.
The particular memory management bug may be an over-release (or failure to retain), but it could also be a failure to unregister an object from observing a notification prior to its deallocation. In this case, it seems as though you failed to unset the delegate of the NSPopover prior to the delegate's deallocation. (The NSPopover registers the delegate as an observer of NSPopoverDidCloseNotification and would unregister it when you unset the delegate.)

Ken
