I was all ready to say “Yes, I’m sure”, but the app isn’t actually reading TextEdit’s prefs. It’s asking for com.apple.TextEdit.LSSharedFileList. Reading the actual preferences doesn’t seem to work.

So maybe you can’t read the prefs from a sandboxed application? But that isn’t documented anywhere that I can find.
