I can reproduce this, but for me both Emacs 26 and Emacs 24 behave the
same. So I don't know why your Emacs 24 behaves differently, perhaps
it's due to some local changes that are not in upstream sources.
In any case, "M-x describe-face" is not the right tool when there
could be several text properties at the same position, because
describe-face can only name one face, and it selects the one that
affects the text the most. I suggest to use another command instead,
"M-x describe-text-properties". It will pop up a window with
information about all the properties at point, and you can then drill
down using the buttons in that window.
This is not a bug.
Thanks.
