Well, let¹s just call it unexpected behavior then. Now that I understand what is going on, I see your point and will be forewarned in future implementations. You are technically correct. However, it was a subtle issue which could easily trip up someone encountering it for the first time. I don¹t know if this mini-nib thing is a new issue with view-based tables, or if it has been there in the past with other classes which use prototype views. I still think the compiler should be smart enough to block this without having to put a on-shot blocking flag in awakeFromNib, which I have now done.
