In "emacs -Q" try this:
M-: (put-text-property 149 154 'display "FOO") RET
Then move point to buffer position 149 (under F from "FOO"), and type
"C-u C-x =". The popped up buffer shows in its first line that the
character at point is "FOO" (while the echo area says it's `e').
Bug? feature?

Now, applying the properties to the char is obviously a feature. The
question is, should display properties be ignored when displaying the
character?

It's a feature, but it has a bad effect in the above case.
C-u C-x = (describe-char) tries to display the character at position in
*Help* buffer as the same way as in the original buffer by
adding the same text properties.
(setq item-list
`(("character"
,(format "%s (%d, #o%o, #x%x)"
(apply 'propertize char-description
(text-properties-at pos))
char char char))
Changing that part to something like this:
(setq item-list
`(("character"
,(format "%s (displayed as %s) (%d, #o%o, #x%x)"
char-description
(apply 'propertize char-description
(text-properties-at pos))
char char char))
may be an improvement.

Thanks.
Does anyone object to this change on the trunk?

It's a good change.
Why not apply this patch as well, while you're at it:
