Why would the dirty dot become dirty when no change was made to the store?
 I don't see any logical reason for this.

Because NSDocument change count is linked to the NSUndoManager
notifications.  See

Kyle, I just studied the section in there titled "What's all this change count stuff?", which is the only place where "change count" is mentioned, but I'm sorry I just don't see any explanation of why the document would become dirty when no undo operations have been registered. Beginning and ending an undo group is not changing the document and should not be counted as a change.

Maybe you or someone could explain it a little better?

In my real app, I often manually begin and end a "super undo group".

AppKit already does this for you.  See -[NSUndoManager groupsByEvent]
http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/documentation/Cocoa/Reference/Foundation/Classes/NSUndoManager_Class/Reference/Reference.html#/ /apple_ref/doc/uid/20000211-CHDCHADA

Yes it does, but once you build a Core Data app which is more complicated than DepartmentAndEmployees, you'll be very disappointed with out-of-box Undo operation. One problem is that users typically need to click Undo several times to undo what they may have done with one click. There are threads on this in the list archives, or google: core data undo fishmeal.
