When testing it, it seemed like the clicks on this button's title didn't always take. It appears that the only clicks that work are clicks that are on the checkbox itself or the button title's rendered pixels. Like I can't click the space between the ascenders in "Add", but must click the actual ascenders in each 'd'. Same with the descender in a 'y'.

Makes sense considering that sandboxed apps don't run their own open panel. Instead the accessory view appears to be hosted in a borderless window that gets attached (at the Window Server level, I'd presume) to the actual open panel that runs in the PowerBox process. So it'd probably just let through any clicks in transparent areas to PowerBox in the underlying window.
A workaround would probably be to use a plain NSBox as your accessory view and fill it with a solid color (e.g. an opaque version of the color that a standard-appearance NSBox uses to fill itself). of course that'd run the risk of looking a bit ugly if Apple changes the color used for that. I don't see an obvious color for NSBox contents in NSColor.h.
