I heard about the update a few days ago and I was excited because I had not visited the Nether yet in my new world. So today I downloaded it and went to the Nether all excited! However, I didn't see a single sign of one and I've been digging for hours....
I also created a random seed and went to the nether and I could not find a fortress there either...
*EDIT* Created another world and found a fortress. It was completely obvious that it was a fortress so theres no way they could be buried in Netherrack.
Well the terrain generation has been dramatically changed it seems... As in my seed creates a compeletely different world now...
My guess is that the Nether is labled as 1.8 since the world was created then and, as such, it won't spawn.
It might also be worth trying to create a Portal in an area you have not explored yet (I.E. Generated after 1.0) and seeing if it leads to an updated Nether.
It was said in a tweet (not from Official 4J, I believe an employee) that nether fortresses will not spawn in any old map, no matter if you've visited the nether or not.
He specified that the nether is loaded at world creation, so regardless if you've visited or not, those chunks have already been loaded.
Found this out yesterday, after purposely not going into the nether. -_-"
