Where?

Not sure, but late enough that `:results pp' will print them or `:post 
...' will receive them in `*this*'.

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :results drawer pp
(propertize "test" 'font-lock-face '(:foreground "red") 'help-echo 
"tooltip")
#+END_SRC

#+RESULTS:
: #("test" 0 4
:   (help-echo "tooltip" font-lock-face
: 	     (:foreground "red")))

also `*this*' will contain the propertized version if you use the :post 
header arg.

HTH,
