Just for closure, I thought I'd post the resolution to this. Marek opened a DTS incident and we managed to track down the root cause of the problem. Marek is working on a file system that pretends to be HFS Plus in all ways. It turns out that the Finder contains a special case for HFS Plus. If the files are coming from an HFS Plus file system, the Finder assumes that it knows the order in which items will be returned by FSGetCatalogInfoBulk (which is layered on top of the BSD getdirentriesattr call). If the entries come back in a different order, the Finder gets *very* confused, and displays the symptoms Marek described. The obvious resolution is that, if you're going to pretend to be HFS Plus, you have to do so in all ways, including the sort order of directory entries. I've also file a bug report to investigate <rdar://problem/3338538> Apple's response to this.
