Yes, the MOC is provided through a binding to the AppController, itself part of 
the NIB. But the MOC iVar is set to nil until the user successfully opens a 
persistent store file. So I imagine the init code for the NSArrayController 
protests against finding a MOC set to nil. But since I don't actually need the 
array before the MOC is initialized, ignoring the exception it raises does not 
lead to a fatal error.

I worked around this annoyance by opening a temporary MOC. I imagine I could 
also decide to remove the controller from the NIB and create it 
programmatically only when a proper store is opened.

Cheers and thanks for help!
