installing to user home directory with a network home dir

Hello,

we are developing a pkgbuild built installer that needs to allow the user to install our software to either /Applications (system wide)  or  ~/Applications (user specific).  As far as I can tell, having this in our distribution file

<domains enable_currentUserHome="true" enable_localSystem="true"/>

should suffice.  And this seems to work fine in most cases.  

The case where things go bad is when the user tries to install to their home directory and their home directory is not /Users/username.  Our test case is having a home directory on a NFS share.  In this case, we receive the following errors

Oct 15 12:47:32 bld-mac-10_9-1 installer[99170] : Proceeding with home directory install using network home at /nfsland/usr/username
2014-10-15 12:47:32.501 installer[99170:507] -[IFNetworkDiskObject fileSystemType]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x7f988b7009d0
2014-10-15 12:47:32.501 installer[99170:507] *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '-[IFNetworkDiskObject fileSystemType]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x7f988b70

I've posted to stack overflow, dev forums, and bugreport.apple.com but haven't heard anything back any where.  Anyone know what is going wrong here?  Or have ideas for troubleshooting?

thanks in advance!
-Owen
