I asked a similar question in coding forum
http://drupal.org/node/1319804
No reply yet, but you might keep an eye on that thread in case I or someone comes up with the answer. Maybe someone in the customfield issue thread will help.

I got it working for a single item in Views, it was hugely complicated, following this
http://drupal.org/node/1132368

Please don't ask me how to do it in more detail!

One could create such a view for each item and put them all on a page.

There is a (resource heavy) module for displaying a view within a view, maybe if I had enable Relationship I would have been able to get them to work well together, but it was just showing my new field repeatedly as it was under each item in the parent view. The level of complexity is stupid.

For D6 there is Views Group By module which claims to do this. Maintainers have not yet answered a thread about porting for D7. There must be simple coding solution.

Not sure if I'm answering your problem.
Do you want to auto-complete the node-reference field from the currently visible node ?

Then use http://drupal.org/project/nodereference_url (works only with Node Reference fields,elegant) or http://drupal.org/project/urlfill (works with many fields, extensive, not so elegant) module.
To get other fields in Views PHP without using ugly $object stuff, Add this patch: http://drupal.org/files/issues/views_customfield.patch

I will come and look at this in more detail when I have recovered from another late night trying to sort it out. I have not used node reference, maybe it will work, filtering for published and outputting a summary.

In simple terms my problem, related to OP's problem, is to make a view on a list of menu items or taxonomy terms, and output a field which counts the nodes which have those menu items or taxonomy terms attached.

E.g. create a bookshop catalogue with headings for books by Shakespeare and books by Dickens, output a page with nothing other than :

Page title: Catalogue Summary
Catalogue Section 1 (could be a taxonomy term, a menu link, or a Nodequeue item): Books by Shakespeare: Number of items in stock (xy)
Catalogue Section 2 : Books by Dickens: Number of items in stock (xy)
where each book is a published node of type:product.

In my case the catalogue headings are grouped by Nodequeues, each nodequeue has a view with a menu link (which is the catalogue heading). But they can also be given a taxonomy term, it that makes it easier to collect them.
