Yes, but you do want to remove that property at some point.
Using font-lock-extra-managed-props is asking font-lock to take complete
control of the property (i.e. it causes font-lock-fontify-region to
start by erasing the `display' property over the whole fontified region)
so if the display property is set by a package that doesn't use
font-lock, that will be lost.
