It's here:

<http://clang.llvm.org/docs/LanguageExtensions.html#objc_instancetype>

"The related result type can also be inferred for some methods. To determine whether a method has an inferred related result type, the first word in the camel-case selector (e.g., "init" in "initWithObjects") is considered....."

This doc is exactly what's lead me to believe this is a false positive.
