Thanks for the link.

I am not a good lisp hacker, so I cannot be sure of this, but I suppose
Bastien did not notice the last argument 'a'. Indeed, the function is
defined as:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(get-text-property POSITION PROP &optional OBJECT)
Return the value of POSITION's property PROP, in OBJECT.
OBJECT should be a buffer or a string; if omitted or nil, it defaults
to the current buffer.
If POSITION is at the end of OBJECT, the value is nil.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Then, the POSITION argument is the position in OBJECT to look for the
property. Therefore, the use of a function related to the current buffer
(like point-min) seems to strongly assume that OBJECT is the current
buffer (or nil).

In that case, OBJECT is not the current buffer but a string called
'a'. Thus, IIUC, it makes no sense to use OBJECT=a and
POSITION=(point-min).
