Is this in fact an NSTextView, or do you mean NSTextField?

So even if the view being annotated is 300 pt tall, and the icon image is 32 pt
tall, you're going to make the icon view 300 x 300? And if the origin of the
annotated view is 24 pt (remember that's measured _from the bottom_, you're
going to align the annotation at the bottom of the annotated view? If your text
views are the only ones you've tried that are taller than the others you've
annotated, the annotation view will ride lower than you expect.
Also, many view frames differ in size and origin from the visually-apparent
frames. To diagnose, try subclassing your enclosing view (if you haven't
already), and in drawRect: iterate through the subviews and draw rectangles
around their frames. A very cursory skim of the class references don't show me
anything that would help you get the layout rects, but maybe you can hold your
nose and derive the layout rects from the frames empirically.
Maybe the 10.7 autolayout methods could help you; it may be good enough to
align your annotations with the annotated views' baselines.

This isn't your problem, but never use literal strings for Cocoa's exported
global strings. You don't know whether the constant value is @"com.apple.aStr",
and the symbol they published to the API is NSViewFrobbingA.
