The code never gets past the continue call because every time this method is called the only menu item in [openRecentMenu itemArray] is "Clear Menu" (except when I quit out).

There's a couple of things I don't understand here.
If your document is a PNDocument, then you never add it to the menu via the super call, so of course there's no item there to have its name changed.
OTOH, unless your app has multiple doc classes AND the others use regular file names AND you're trying to mix regular file names and your special names on the same menu, then why are you bothering to leverage the document controller mechanism? Just opt out, and create your own Recent Items mechanism to use instead.
The problem with trying to integrate into any of document controller's standard behavior is that you might end up "fixing" the menu, but that won't solve anything for the dock menu, which was your original question.
