This code isn't correct, because it calls `face' as a function.
So I guess you mean

   (add-text-properties 99 111 '(face (quote some-face)))

in which case the fix is to use

   (add-text-properties 99 111 '(face some-face))

aka

   (put-text-property 99 111 'face 'some-face)

Yes, the message comes from redisplay.
