I think I see what you mean (but I'm not sure).
Is your recipe the following one?
emacs -Q
M-x text-mode RET
M-: (insert (propertize "Hello" 'face 'bold)) RET
C-SPC
M-b
M-w
M-: (text-properties-at 0 "<press C-y>") RET
in which you see the text in bold in the minibuffer before pressing RET?
(Instead of M-: you could also type (text-properties-at 0 "<press C-y>")
followed by C-x C-e somewhere else.)
