I definitely have not done that. I subclass NSManagedObject.
Let's step back a little here:

Well, -foo and -setFoo: won't even compile unless I change the type of the
sourceInstance: parameter of the method to be a MyManagedObject* like this:
- (BOOL)createDestinationInstancesForSourceInstance:(MyManagedObject*)foo
entityMapping:(NSEntityMapping*)inMapping
manager:(NSMigrationManager*)inManager
error:(NSError**)error_p
or else do some equivalent typecasting in the implementation.

Makes sense, but I distinctly remember debugging this and seeing in the call
stack that KVO was calling my custom accessors.
I'll have a closer look the next time that I run into this problem. Making a
demo project of a Core Data migration is quite tedious.
By the way, my custom accessors are also called if I used -valueForKey: and
-setValue:forKey:. This is per documentation [1]:
"The access pattern key-value coding uses for managed objects is largely the
same as that used for subclasses of NSObject—seevalueForKey:"
and drilling down, [2]:
Default Search Pattern for valueForKey:
When the default implementation of valueForKey: is invoked on a receiver, the
following search pattern is used:
• Searches the class of the receiver for an accessor method whose name matches
the pattern -get<Key>, -<key>, or -is<Key>, in that order.
