In this narrowed down code of the bug it will log this on removeObserver

main sample code to narrow it down:

*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception
'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: 'Cannot remove an observer
<Observer 0x10ac00> for the key path "targetPhoto.name" from
<NSMyArrayController 0x1099d0>, most likely because the value for the key "targetPhoto" has changed without an appropriate KVO notification being
sent. Check the KVO-compliance of the NSMyArrayController class.'

This is not a lot of help to you, but I vaguely remember a discussion on this list a couple of months ago about problems with KVO on subclassed NSArrayControllers. I can't find the thread, but I did find that someone has been here before you:

Why it should fail is not clear, but it may be that the code that adds observers does something special with NSArrayControllers (but doesn't realize your class is a subclass, or can't work properly if it's a subclass).

Alternatively, it may be a side effect of the well-known defect in NSArrayController where its KVO notifications don't contain the proper new/old values.

If I understand your workaround correctly, it bypasses (what we assume to be) NSArrayController's own overrides of didChange.../ willChange... . That may get your custom property observer notifications to work properly, but my guess is that this will break (some) behavior of any objects using the NSArrayController's usual notifications.

A better workaround strategy might be to avoid subclassing NSArrayController, and find another way to achieve what subclassing was going to get for you.
