Unfortunately, this is a side effect of nib-loading. The object is 
being deserialized, and at the point of the dataSource being set, it 
gets messaged; which, is before the outlet is set.

Another workaround is to set a BOOL flag that is set to YES when your 
awakeFromNib is called, and to only log your error message when that 
flag is set (that way, you know everything is hooked up and 
initialized).
