No, it does.

NSLog shows that the delegate method *is* called, and the expected data cell is
being returned for column 4.

Exactly.

I tried reloadData, to no effect. I just tried the setNeedsDisplay: and that
didn't work either.

NSLogs show that it is returning expected values. I agree that it "feels" a
little fragile but I don't know what other options I have--doing this in the
setObjectValue delegate call seems even more fragile.
Curiously, the following workaround works:
Change reloadDataForRowIndexes to:
[self performSelector:@selector(refreshCellAtRect:) withObject:[NSValue
valueWithRect:[queryTableView frameOfCellAtColumn:4 row:[queryTableView
selectedRow]]] afterDelay:0.0];
With:
- (void)refreshCellAtRect:(NSValue *)rectValue;
{
[queryTableView setNeedsDisplayInRect:[rectValue rectValue]];
}
So there must be something with redraw and the event loop. Anyway, this almost
seems like a bug, but I wanted to be sure before I report it.
