I did do, Eli, and while it works as expected with normal buffers it 
doesn't so when it comes to the minibuffer.  Your answer, though, has 
forced me to consider the approach I've been taking, which was to use the 
built in C function `message' to output propertized strings?  Your reply 
seems to imply my approach is wrong and I should instead look for a 
different one - perhaps I shouldn't be using `message' at all?
