I hate it when people rapid-fire updates to their questions, but…

Removing the value transformer from the NSArray controller process between the 
text view and the model object doesn't help.

In my model object, I added an NSAttributedString-valued on-demand @property; 
the getter and setter rely on the transformer to get and set the HTML string** 
CD attribute. The value still transits through the transformer, but I hoped 
that hiding it from the controller might help.

It didn't. I still have the bug.

** (I earlier said the CD attribute was NSData; in fact, it's NSString. Sorry.)
