Nodereference Fails to Print Referenced Node

I had a case where CCK nodereference wasn't populating the view field in the array, so I had to check to see if it was empty and then manually populate it.

I leave this code as a gift to posterity.

<?php foreach ((array)$node->field_speakers_noderef as $item) { ?>
        <?php if ( $speaker_view = $item['view'] ) : ?>
                <div class="field-item"><?php print $speaker_view ?></div>
        <?php else: ?>
                <div class="field-item"><?php print node_view(node_load($item['nid']), TRUE); ?></div>
        <?php endif; ?>
<?php } ?>
