How do I disable the navigation bar shadow in iOS 6 for navigation bars with custom background images?

Question

It seems in iOS 6, a drop shadow is automatically added to the navigation bar even when you set a custom background image. I\'m pretty sure this wasn\'t the case with iOS 5

General, non-NDA-infringing answer:

If you don't want something sticking out of a layer, mask the layer to its bounds.

[self.layer setMasksToBounds:YES];

Set the height explicitly to 44 (or 32 for landscape on iPhone) if that doesn't work on its own.
