This particular method from NSPropertyListSerialization returns a error string by reference. the curious thing I found in the API doc is that it says I must release the string if it is returned. Doesn't this go against the Cocoa convention that any object returned by method (other than alloc, etc.), directly or via indirection, is autoreleased?

Not really. The convention is that any exceptions to the normal rule should be clearly documented, and as you've pointed out this one is.
