> Why do overlays and text properties differ on this?

Overlays are objects, so even if they have identical properties, it's
easy to see where an overlay starts and stops.  For text properties, we
just use ad-hoc strategies like seeing whether the property we're
interested changes or not, and determine the start/stop of the region
based on that.

It's perhaps unfortunate that text property regions don't have more
"identity", but I guess it'd be difficult to change that now.
