It's randomly 650-1250 from 0/0 of your world, no matter when it was created. If you already have chunks generated at the location of one of your strongholds, it won't exist.
(strongholds really break the "infinite" nature of minecraft... it would have been better if one got generated, say, for every 2048x2048 coords)
I'm pretty certain the current method was done for demonstration purposes, and was never intended to be the final method.
They have said that in 1.9, it will generate strongholds on a per-x-chunks basis, so you will get an infinite number. Furthermore, jeb said that ocne they add bosses, they will add some method of locating strongholds(such has having them show up on maps).Once that is in play, this should all be much saner.

I used SlowRiot's app to try finding a stronghold on my 1.7.3 map that I updated and when I went to a point it said, there was no stronghold and only caverns. It was definitely new chunks because there were vines and stuff, and I also passed a 1 level lower ocean. BUT when I tried it with my new creative world, it did work so now I'm thinking it won't work..
here is mah world seed

Thanks SkiDoodle!
The app works great! My stronghold was deep underground in a desert next to a village.
Interesting thing, there were enders walking around on the surface at night above the hold, four at one point.
OUR seed? Are you two people?
His SMP server is probably at least 2 people.
