I believe it’s simply meant to say “A NSControlTint value that specifies the tint of the receiver.”

I think Uli has your answer, that it’s doing what it’s supposed to do under the given circumstances, out of a larger universe of possible appearances. My *guess* is that the IB-created button is in a XIB with a format designation of an earlier Xcode/target OS, so it’s following different rules than the rules used for programmatic creation.
Or, it could simply be that you’re using the wrong combination of button attributes — the maze of interactions between those properties is fairly headache-full. Try Keary’s suggestion of creating the button in IB, and use the debugger to examine the properties of the IB-created button that does look like what you intend.
However, also consider Uii’s other, implied point: you may be wasting your time because the concept of button tinting in current versions of OS X has simply gone away. Avoiding a deprecated graphite appearance by implementing a deprecated aqua appearance seems like the wrong direction to head.
