-becomeFirstResponder does not do what you think it does... read the
class documentation for NSResponder.  The selector is misleadingly named.

What I would try (i.e. I have not tested this), is one of:

[[alert window] makeFirstResponder:myTextField];
[[alert window] setInitialFirstResponder:myTextField];

(I'm not clear on the life cycle for the NSAlert's -window object, so I
don't know whether you can actually get at it to set its initial first
responder before it's displayed.)
