I am not sure if we talk about the same issue here, but I was told that there 
are some problems in that respect. In ProjectCenter I use NSPopUpButtons' 
action method to invoke sth like popupChanged:. In that method I use a switch 
statement to identify the index of the sender's selected item:

switch([sender indexOfSelectedItem]) { ... }

I now was told that the sender seems to be of class NSMenuItem???!!! This 
should not be the case unlike the specs have changed since OPENSTEP - any ideas?
