Maybe, maybe not. It depends on whether you consider the text
properties on a string (or buffer portion) an essential part of the
string or not. I think it was possibly a design error to have text
properties conceptually as a part of a string/buffer rather than
something associated with it, like an overlay. The fact that equal
ignores these properties supports this view.
