Sorry to add a second answer, but this turns out to be more intricate than I thought. It turns out that you're seeing a changed behavior (perhaps a bug?) in Xcode 4.3.

In Xcode 4.2, the converter would have offered to change (nonatomic, retain) to (nonatomic, strong). But in Xcode 4.3, it offers to change it to (nonatomic); I guess if you don't want that, changing retain to strong is up to you before converting.

On the other hand, in Xcode 4.2, (nonatomic) alone was absolutely illegal for a synthesized property; in Xcode 4.3, it is not: you get a warning, but it assumes you mean assign and so it isn't illegal.

So there's been a change in how ARC works in LLVM 3.1 and an accompanying change in the Xcode 4.3 ARC converter.
