I'm encountering a difficult to debug issue with a static library project when attempting to animate a view.
It works fine when debugging (and even when debugging in the release configuration), but throws an error archived as a release:

To give some background info:
The static library is part of an 'iOS fake-framework', built using the templates from here:
https://github.com/kstenerud/iOS-Universal-Framework
The framework presents a registration UI as a modal view on top of whatever the client application is doing at the time. It pushes these views using a handle to a UIViewController provided by the client application.

It doesn't do anything special, but here's the animation code:

-(void)keyboardWillShowNotification:(NSNotification *)notification
{
    double animationDuration = [[[notification userInfo] objectForKey:UIKeyboardAnimationDurationUserInfoKey] doubleValue];

    dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^(void) {
        [self animateViewsToState:kUMAnimationStateKeyboardVisible forIdiom:[UIDevice currentDevice].userInterfaceIdiom forDuration:animationDuration];
    });
}

-(void)animateViewsToState:(kUMAnimationState)state forIdiom:(UIUserInterfaceIdiom)idiom forDuration:(double)duration
{
    float fieldOffset;    
    if (idiom == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPhone) {
        if (state == kUMAnimationStateKeyboardVisible) {
            fieldOffset = -KEYBOARD_HEIGHT_IPHONE_PORTRAIT;
        } else {
            fieldOffset = KEYBOARD_HEIGHT_IPHONE_PORTRAIT;
        }
    } else {
        if (state == kUMAnimationStateKeyboardVisible) {
            fieldOffset = -IPAD_FIELD_OFFSET;
        } else {
            fieldOffset = IPAD_FIELD_OFFSET;
        }
    }

    [UIView animateWithDuration:duration animations:^(void) {
        mUserNameField.frame = CGRectOffset(mUserNameField.frame, 0, fieldOffset);
        mUserPasswordField.frame = CGRectOffset(mUserPasswordField.frame, 0, fieldOffset);
    }];
}

Further printf-style debugging shows that it crashes whenever I do anything much with UIKit - specifically, it crashes when I replace -animateViewsToState with:

if (0 == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPhone) {
    NSLog(@"");
}

and

[[[[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"test" message:@"123" delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:@"OK" otherButtonTitles:nil] autorelease] show];

To me, this sounds like a linker problem, but I don't understand how such problems would only manifest here, and not beforehand.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
