This is a string that has a `fontified' text-property applied to it.
This property is normally applied to the buffer text by `jit-lock' to
keep track of which part of the buffer has been font-locked and which
part hasn't.
You can ignore this property: it should be harmless. But if it bothers
you (e.g. for aesthetic reasons) you can strip it by calling
(set-text-properties 0 (length name) nil name).
Notice that the other string doesn't have this property, because
`downcase' does not preserve text-properties (tho it probably should,
ideally, on the part of the string which is not modified).
