ie text-properties are copied as a kind of comment
behind, not solely `along' as the info says. (Reading
the info I would understand, that the chars copied into
the returned string are propertized as the original
one, as it seems the case altogether.)

No, you are still confusing the _printed representation_ of the return
value of buffer-substring with the actual return value.

Try this:

  (type-of (buffer-substring 1 10))

It returns `string', showing that the return value of buffer-substring
is really a string.

Sorry, thanks.
