Some functionality I introduced for wrangling text properties in erc-match.el was shoddily done and not very usable from the perspective of another module building on erc-match as a foundation. The attached patch attempts to correct that. It also ditches "erc-" namespacing for invisibility spec members because the potential for collision seems pretty low given that we're only talking ERC buffers. (Hopefully, I'm not missing any downsides here.)
