Well, except what is self? It's perfectly legitimate in an init method to write
self = <whatever or nil>. ***that's why you always check if( self ){....} after
calling super in all init methods, including -initWithCoder:.***
Documenting that you must return self means nothing - you always return self
from an init method. What it does not state (and perhaps should) is that unlike
other init methods, self may not be reassigned or set to nil.

Yes, indeed that's what I am doing. It seems to work and it certainly fixes my
problem.
But if there are some rules which need to be made clearer here (rather than
just my own understanding), then it still might be worth flushing them out so I
can file a bug on the documentation at least.
