When fixing the bug that Miles mentioned, most of my time was
spent figuring out where to put the blame, and since both
callers of set_text_properties_1 tried to be careful to call
it with sensible values (except that one of the callers wasn't
careful enough), it seemed that the intention of the code
was for set_text_properties_1 to assume its arguments
where already sanitized.
Not that it matters anyway,
