Basically, if I add an observer using the path "document.someProperty", KVO
attaches the observer to the the someProperty object, not document. So if I
change it (document.someProperty = newProperty), newProperty replaces the
original object, which is then released. newProprety doesn't have any
observers and doesn't post any notifications when its properties change.

Boy, I totally hosed that description.

What I meant to say is, if you're observing a property of a property (controller.document.prop) the observer for the property is attached to document object, not the controller object. So if you replace the document object in the controller (controller.document = newDocument), the binding in the old document gets lost and changes to the new document.prop won't be observed.
