IIRC, this is what happens when the selected object doesn’t exist in the content array (or for whatever reason cannot be found by the API). Are you simply modifying the content array (adding/removing), or re-creating objects?
In any case, you might have better results using KVC-compliat mutator methods on the content array rather than replacing it entirely.
