The docs say you can implement either insertObject: or insert<Key>. I figured it was smart enough to handle the plural-vs-singular change, otherwise it's grammatically awkward.

However, implementing the -insertObject: variant, and calling that, now seems to result in the correct behavior. Looking at my old code, I was calling -mutableArrayValueForKey:, which is why that worked.

To this day I'm a little puzzled why a simple NSMutable property needs all the extra scaffolding. It really seems like you should get this behavior for free, and only need to implement those methods when the thing backing it isn't a standard collection.

Anyway, thanks for pushing me to try one more thing.
