after presenting a popover from a bar button item, the popover has had its "passthroughViews" set to include the nav bar, so your taps don't register. Set the passthroughviews to nil straight after you present the popover. ie.

self.myPopoverController presentPopoverFromBarButtonItem:myBarButtonItem permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionAny animated:YES];
