I mean a "Cocoa bindings" kind of binding. e.g. the "target" binding
of the menu item is bound in IB. The action field of the binding is
set to "print:". I'm not talking about the traditional way of
connecting a button/menu item to another object through the basic
control drag from source to target and select the action method and
I'm not talking about setting it in code. I know how to do both of
those and they work, what I'm going for is a dynamic target.

I have a menu item that is bound to a target. The menu is resides

and set the target to one of the objects manually in IB the
validation method is called as expected. Has anyone else run into
this and if so, is there a work around?
What do you mean "binding"? "Binding" has a very specific meaning,
and is not how you connect an object to its target.
Do you mean you're making the connection in code? If so, it should
look something like:
[myMenuItem setTarget:myTarget];
[myMenuItem setAction:@selector(doMyAction:)];
Note the name of the action method is "doMyAction:", not
"doMyAction", though I don't know if this affects whether
validateMenuItem: is called.
Assuming your code does look like this, are you sure these lines of
code are being executed? If so, *when* are they being executed? If
you doing this in init, it's possible myMenuItem and myTarget have
not been set yet -- you need to make the connection in awakeFromNib.
