I suspect I'm missing something simple here.

Yes:

http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Reference/Foundation/Classes/nsmutablearray_Class/Reference/Reference.html

"NSArray and NSMutableArray are part of a class cluster, so arrays are not actual instances of the NSArray or NSMutableArray classes but of one of their private subclasses."

Subclassing is fraught with many angry, fire-breathing, treasure- grubbing dragons and as such is *not* recommended. Especially if you're only trying to get a mutable array populated with a single object.

What's wrong with [[NSMutableArray arrayWithObject:[[MyClass alloc] init]]; ?

Create a convenience method somewhere in your project such as - mutableArrayWithMyClass that contains the above and you're done. No dragons.
