This pattern is reliable and repeatable - if I call the loop again, the first time through the empty directories issue is present again; on subsequent iterations the directory is populated.

The gui:execute-in-gui version will not show quick-look previews in column view in either the 32-bit or 64-bit IDE - the field where the preview should be shows the spinning (non)progress indicator instead of the file's quick-look preview. This is true on all iterations, not just the first when the directory is not populated. The gui:execute-in-gui version *does* show previews in Cover Flow view, just not in Column view. The other (#/performSelectorOnMainThread) version reliably shows quick-look previews in both Column view and Cover Flow view in both the 32 and 64 bit IDEs.

I was able to duplicate this in an Objective-C program.

When you build and run this, a little window will appear with two buttons.  One will show an open panel via a dispatch_async call, and the other uses performSelectorOnMainThread.  The respective buttons show open panels that display symptoms like the ones you describe.  

When I build and run this on my Snow Leopard system, both versions appear to behave normally.
