 So do I.  I've had that happen too.

 Maybe there should be two functions.  One that kills text properties
too, and one that strips them.  Hmmm.  The prefix arg changes
direction with some kill commands, so can't be used to switch the
behaviour of them regarding text properties.  Perhaps the standard
keys should strip the props, and a set down a prefix map can leave
them in?

 I just found out what they are.
