Are you saying that Apple's well-documented approach to see if an object is 
derived from NSProxy does not work? If that's the case, you need to submit a 
bug report to Apple. That's a serious issue that only Apple can help you with.

If you are using objects not derived from NSObject nor NSProxy, then change 
your design.
