    - the code gives the new properties priority over the existing
    properties

That is the intended behavior of the feature; I don't want to change
that.

    - when the first character has no properties, gets the properties from
    the last character;

That change is ok.  To make it really "right", it should set the specified
properties for the whole contents of the string, leaving other properties
unchanged.  This might actually simplify the code, but one needs to be
careful to get the right results when risky != 0.
