Again, this should also be noted so other developers don't go through all the trouble I've done to implement very basic functionality. Or maybe *hint hint* Apple could update this documentation and/or fix these bugs.

My guess is that the problem is a result of what you’re doing with autolayout (and possibly when, too), more than what you’re doing with UICollectionView, but that’s just a hunch, nothing rational. Under those circumstances of uncertainty, Apple isn’t going to go looking for a bug.

Quincy, I am sure I'm doing something wrong, so no argument there!
However, given how there's nothing I can find in Apple documentation and the fact that it crashes inside of Apple code only sometimes suggests there is a bug going on. It might be worth noting that no one on this mailing list has come up with any clues about what the problem is suggests to me there is more going on than 'you're doing it wrong.' For example, is there sample code from Apple with an example? None that I've seen. Also, does anyone else have examples of doing what I'm attempting? The code on the interwebs I've seen go through rather elaborate subclasses of a collection view layout which I really don't want to do, given that Apple is saying this should work.
Also, FWIW, I've had DTS use rather abusive and insulting language after I submitted a TSI in very technical, non-emotional terms. Maybe I got unlucky with whomever was assigned my TSI but I feel like I have to have my technical story extremely solid or I won't get the help I want.
Doug
