Are you on Leopard?
This behavior should not be there on Tiger.
I faced similar problem on Leopard with NSTableView. It seems in Leopard, nib is loaded, with lazy-loading kind of approach. The controls are not initialized until the window, on which the controls are hosted, is not referenced.

If you'll put a [self window] call just before the first NSLog, your code might work.
- (void) test:(NSString*)string
{
   [self window];
   [textField setStringValue:string];

   NSLog(@"textField=%@", textField);

   int ret = [NSApp runModalForWindow:[self window]];

   NSLog(@"textField=%@", textField);
    }

Let me know if this works.

I have a class that extends NSWindowController. I instantiate and call it like this

 MyWindowController *controller = [[MyWindowController alloc] init];
 [controller test:@"test"];

The NIB has the textField connected. Here is the (simplified) implementation of the controller.

- (id) init
{
   self = [super initWithWindowNibName:@"SomeOther"];
   return self;
}

- (void) awakeFromNib
{
   NSLog(@"nib loaded.");
}

- (void) windowDidLoad
{
   NSLog(@"window loaded.");
}

- (void) test:(NSString*)string
{
   [textField setStringValue:string];

   NSLog(@"textField=%@", textField);

   int ret = [NSApp runModalForWindow:[self window]];

   NSLog(@"textField=%@", textField);


Looking into the test method. Why on earth is the textField nil first and only after the runModalForWindow holds the proper reference?? I've already gotten the awakeFromNib and even the windowDidLoad message!

I am confused. Any wise words?

cheers
