For what it’s worth we’ve run into this same problem at Omni— we have some code
(that runs in debug builds, but not release builds, IIRC) that scans the class
hierarchy. We simply ignore a bunch of classes that we’ve had problems with.
This works, but it’s a little bit brittle because who knows when another class
will appear in the runtime that can’t handle -respondsToSelector: and break
your shipping application.

IMHO this is the best approach to the problem.
Another approach is you could watch for the NSBundleDidLoadNotification and
only scan the classes in the NSLoadedClasses entry. But I think that requiring
the plugin to explicitly list the classes you should scan in its Info.plist is
a good approach.
