I think the doc string is wrong -- you rewrote it in 165890a and further
in df05c26.  The original doc string was correct, I think:

+Some convenience values for PREDICATE can also be used.  `t'
+means the same as `equal'.  `nil' means almost the same as \"not
+equal\", but will also end the match if the value of PROPERTY
+changes.  See the manual for extensive examples.

The code performs as originally documented in the test case from Howard,
as far as I can tell.
