Because you have a managedObjectContext ivar, you never change its value so it defaults to nil, and +[NSObject(NSKeyValueCoding) accessInstanceVariablesDirectly] returns YES, -[AuxPanelController objectForKey:@"managedObjectContext"] will always return nil. Ditch the ivar.
Need to correct myself here. Instance variable access is a last resort, performed only when there is no KVC-compliant accessor for the requested key.
