Well, I can’t test this directly, since I haven’t been able to play with ARC yet due to Apple not having graced us lowly second-class-citizen Mac developers with the Xcode 4.2 beta, but according to the docs, you should be able to do this by casting the array to (__bridge_retained void *) when you give it to beginSheetModalForWindow:modalDelegate:didEndSelector:contextInfo:, and then casting it to (__bridge_transfer NSMutableArray *) in your alertDidEnd:returnCode:contextInfo: method.

Here’s the documentation page I’m referring to:
