Oh, so you've implemented +[NSDocument autosavesInPlace]  ;)

Great feature.  I've done that too.

If your document is Core Data, forget it.  You'll need to close and re-open.  Ugly, but at least it doesn't display any errors and you'll be able to ship sometime this year.

I've successfully beaten that monster a couple times with the following method.  It looks silly, but it works.  Try sprinkling one in during your reload somewhere…

@implementation NSDocument (SyncModDate)

- (void)syncFileModificationDate {
    NSFileManger* fm = [NSFileManager defaultManager] ;
    NSDictionary* fileAttributes = [fm attributesOfItemAtPath:[[self fileURL] path]
                                                        error:NULL] ;
    NSDate* newDate = [fileAttributes objectForKey:NSFileModificationDate] ;
    [self setFileModificationDate:newDate] ;
}

@end

I think I got the idea from here:
