Has anyone managed this, short of creating a separate layer for the stroke? The Google machine doesn't seem to provide any answers.

Since CATextLayer uses an attributed string, why can't you just set the attributes to have the text stroked (set the NSStrokeColorAttributeName appropriately, and then use a negative value for the NSStrokeWidthAttributeName to indicate that the text should be both stroked and filled).

That is what I would expect; however, the layer does not stroke the text.

The CATextLayer uses Core Text to do its drawing, so it supports what Core Text supports (and I'm not familiar with what the limitations are here). It will likely be simpler to draw the text yourself into a plain CALayer rather than try to make the CATextLayer do what you want to do.
