Since your property is declared to have a scalar (float) value, it must be a
custom accessor of your custom NSManagedObject subclass. (Core Data's
internally-provided properties are all object values, never scalars.) See
"Scalar Values" in:
http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/CoreData/Articles/cdNSAttributes.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40001919-SW13
That means you've probably forgotten to implement KVO compliance in the setter
for this property. (Overridden Core Data setters must invoke
didChange/willChangeValueForKey: explicitly.) See "Custom Implementation" in:
http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/CoreData/Articles/cdAccessorMethods.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40002154-SW1
