iPhone UINavigation Issue - nested push animation can result in corrupted navigation bar

Question

I keep getting the following errors:

Here is what I am doing. From a view controller, I call the following when a certain button is pushed:

EventsViewController *viewController = [[EventsViewController alloc] init];
UINavigationController *navController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:viewController];
navController.navigationBar.tintColor = [UIColor blackColor];
[self presentModalViewController:navController animated:YES];
[viewController release];
[navController release];

Then, if a certain button is pushed in EventsController, I call:

SingleEventViewController *viewController = [[SingleEventViewController alloc] initWithEvent:[currentEvents objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:viewController animated:YES];
[viewController release];

Then, if a certain button is pushed in SingleEventViewController, I call:

EventMapView* viewController = [[EventMapView alloc] initWithCoordinates];
[[self navigationController] pushViewController:viewController animated:YES];
[viewController release];

So yea, it's obvious that there's nested push animations, but isn't this the right way to go about it? I checked out Apple's DrillDownSave code and this appears to be how they're doing it. Does it matter that I use init methods instead of viewDidLoad methods?

Calling pushViewController before viewDidAppear is unsafe.
