More accurately: you need to retain it because you didn't get it from
an +alloc, -copy, or +new method.  The fact that it's autoreleased and
therefore drained at the end of the event loop is not guaranteed by
the memory management documentation.  :)

But good on ya for finding it and accurately explaining the problem
for yourself.
