Hi Tom,

the reason is this:  Org-mode uses font-lock to activate links and 
dates,
and it adds a rear-nonsticky property to make sure that the properties
behave well.   Because of this, the unfontification function I wrote for
org-mode does remove the rear-nonsticky property indiscriminately.
I did not know that you can select the individual properties that 
should be
non-sticky - I only learned that from your example.  Thanks!

This problem will be fixed in 5.11.

- Carsten
