Problem with NSDatePicker in popover

My Mac OS application has an NSDatePicker object in a popover. When the popover opens, the date picker works perfectly.

However, when I detach the popover to its own window, the date picker no longer highlights the selected date picker element. The date picker still works perfectly in all other respects: I can use the tab key to select different date picker elements (since they aren't highlighted, I have to count the number of tab presses in my head to know which element is selected). I can use the up-down arrows or even type a new value for the year, month or day to change the value. I can tab on out to the next key view. I can even tab around the entire key view loop and back to the date picker, and then set its values again. The associated instance variable's value is properly udpated every time. But the selected date picker element is not highlighted.

Actually, when I first detach the popover, I very briefly see the first date element highlighted, but it immediately unhighlights. My -detachableWindowForPopover: delegate method seems to work correctly, but it looks as if something happens after that to make the highlighting in the date picker go away. NSLog calls confirm that the date picker is enabled and its date picker cell is selected. I have made the date picker the detached window's first responder and the key view loop is set up correctly. I am instantiating separate controllers and views for the anchored popover and the detached popover as per the documentation.

Has anybody seen this behavior? Is this enough of a description for anybody to suggest where I should look next for the problem?
