Update
The documentation for -[NSTextField selectText:] states "If the receiver isn’t in some window’s view hierarchy, this method has no effect.”
I have verified that the text field is in the window’s view hierarchy. I have verified that -[NSTextField selectText:] is getting called. (Actually it is getting called twice, once by the frameworks for some reason, and once by me.) Calling the method -[NSTextField isSelectable] returns YES.
It appears that -[NSTextField selectText:] is broken in 10.10 Yosemite. It just does not work.
