I think it is acceptable for us to handle this situation by the signalling of an args_out_of_range error, which, as you pointed out, already happens with the call to Fget_text_property in text_property_stickiness. I don't see any problem with that, off hand, but if we go this way we need to update various doc strings and the Lisp manual.
