This has probably changed then in iOS 8 or 9. It used to be splitViewControllers MUST be root and could not be presented modally, see third paragraph on this page:
https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/WindowsViews/Conceptual/ViewControllerCatalog/Chapters/SplitViewControllers.html "A split view controller must always be the root of any interface you create.” Anyway, if it can be presented modally now, then, obviously, I don’t have a problem anymore, which is sweet! I set the subject to SOLVED, that should flag it to others as to require no more attention.
