It sounds, though, as if it should be ok to use observeValueForKeyPath:ofObject:change:context (which will run on the secondary thread, by the sound of it) as a way of monitoring the fact that "something" has changed in the state of my object. I can then use that as a single place in which I schedule a GUI update via a shadow object on the main thread. Does that sound as if it would be ok?

The Cocoa Design Patterns chapter of the Cocoa Fundamentals Guide (which I didn't read well enough) has a general solution (a receptionist object). If you just want to call a method of the observing object on the main thread then performSelectorOnMainThread may be all you need.
