Currently IB doesn't support NSDocumentController since it is initialized by 
using the NSTypes entry in <AppName>Info.plist file which associates the 
documents with their document types.   When a subclass is necessary, it then 
allows you to instantiate it.  This subclass instance becomes the single 
document controller instance for the app.

This is not a bug,  NSDocumentController shall not be directly instantiable.  
Please let me know, if anyone has any convincing arguments to the contrary.

This is a change request, not a bug since IB doesn't allow it either.  GJC

Currently, IB on MOSX does not allow direct instantiation of 
NSDocumentController, only NSDocumentController subclasses defined by the user. 
  The change was made in Gorm to disallow this for consistency with MOSX's IB.

I am reviewing this decision.  GJC
