Waiting for a future runloop-based callback

I thought I understood runloops pretty well, but I'm running into a situation that's got me stumped. Basically it involves how to wait (block) for a future message-send that will be queued onto the current runloop. So I've started an asynchronous task that runs on a background thread. When the
