princ is for human consumption, so the text properties are not
displayed. There's prin1, which is for the Lisp reader, so it keeps
the properties, but in the form a Lisp reader can read and apply to
the string.
You need to use 'format' if you want to keep text properties on the
produced string. princ and prin1 are the wrong tool for the job.
