I workedaround the problem archiving the data directly from the attributedString this way:

NSData* stringData = [NSKeyedArchiver archivedDataWithRootObject:mTextMutableString];

That's not guaranteed to always give you the same NSData either. Maybe it works now for your small test case, but given more complex inputs, an OSX update, or any other number of little thing you have no control over, the data could change.

And I think there should always be a way to get the "same" out-data, given the same "in-variables".

That's not really how archiving is designed. The whole point is that you don't (and shouldn't) care about the archived data. As Glenn mentioned, the only thing you can be sure of is that you will restore the same content upon unarchiving.
