It's not essentially a plist, but a list of :keyword value pairs, but
that's splitting hairs.
face-all-attributes could return such a plist, but we usually prefer to
return alists from functions instead of plists.

We can't change the output of face-all-attributes (because that would
break code), so I don't think there's anything to do here, and I'm
closing this bug report.
