Let X be a Banach space. The property (∗) "the unit ball of X belongs to Baire(X, weak)" holds whenever the unit ball of X* is weak*-separable; on the other hand, it is also known that the validity of (∗) ensures that X* is weak*-separable. In this paper we use suitable renormings of $ℓ^{∞}(ℕ)$ and the Johnson-Lindenstrauss spaces to show that (∗) lies strictly between the weak*-separability of X* and that of its unit ball. As an application, we provide a negative answer to a question raised by K. Musiał.
