Hi, I'm working on an unrelated project that collects events from agenda
buffers. I noticed the following: when you have a series of a repeating
events, scheduled events have a date text property of the form
    (1 9 2023)     date matches the instance date

while deadline events have
    738529         which repeats for all instances

Is this intentional? Why don't they have the same format/behavior? 

The setup - events have the form:

* TODO Test
SCHEDULED: <2023-01-09 Mon +1w>

or

* TODO Test
DEADLINE: <2023-01-09 Mon +1w>

Open an org agenda for a month and examine the text properties of the
events.

I guess that the corresponding code is in `org-agenda-get-deadlines':

		  'date (if upcoming? date deadline)

No idea. org-agenda is old and fragile. I would not dare to touch it
unless absolutely needed.

Note that `org-fix-agenda-info' converts the 'date property back to some
other format... (yes, that's kind of crazy)

Thanks, that could be useful.
