My first idea was that you have a typo or an additional invisible character in
the first @"NSFileExtendedAttributes" string literal. But it's OK.
This is really strange! You should definitely file a bug.
I experimented with the code and found out that you can work around the bug by
copying the NSDictionary after getting it from the NSFIleManager call:
attrs = [[attrs copy] autorelease];
I'm also very curious what can cause such a strange NSDictionary behaviour.
