You are right. I didn't know one can override also read/write specifiers 
(I thought one must redeclare the property in that case):

   TAncestor = class(TComponent)
   private
     fPropName: string;
   published
     property PropName: string read fPropName write fPropName;
   end;
   TOverride = class(TAncestor)
   private
     fPropName2: string;
   published
     property PropName read fPropName2 write fPropName2; // no type 
declaration
   end;

But anyway as stated in the Delphi docs 
http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/Sydney/en/Properties_(Delphi)#Property_Overrides_and_Redeclarations 
:

/Whether a property is hidden or overridden in a derived class, property 
look-up is always static./

So you are right - there is no real difference in property 
override/reintroduce like there is override/overload/reintroduce 
difference in object methods.

I'll make that more clear in FPC docs.
