     I mixed up selectedIndexes.  So, yes, it does return objects. 
However, it does not in fact return the actual objects.  It returns
proxies.  Which is what I said in my original post.  So even if there
are no selected objects, you get back a non-empty array.

     You've read some documentation I haven't;  contrary to your
statement, I do understand KVO.  What I don't understand is what key
I would bind to to determine if that core data proxy is a proxy of a
real object, or not?  Which is the actual subject of the post.  How
to determine if the selected object returned from selection,
selectedObjects, etc., is a proxy or not.

     Kyle, I appreciate your expertise.
