Another interesting bit is that it doesn't notify that the property is
deleted from the place where it did exist?
(Can you confirm that bit or did it not exist in your test?)

If that also applies to the api level, I would call that a regression as
there is no other way to retrieve which nodes were changed by a propset or
propdel then to capture the notifications.
