Yes, those are examples of the same thing.
When I work with a string then I feel it should not be affected
by settings of the current buffer, because it's not buffer text
anymore, but a separate object.
But I understand the current behavior won't be changed, because
it could break existing code which relies on it, so it's up to
elisp developers to make sure the correct defaults are used when
calling the function.
