True; I fixed the ChangeLog entry to not mention eval.

The patch you just installed for text properties (bzr 105788)
causes (format "%4000s%%" "") to fail with
(error "Format string ends in middle of format specifier"),
and it causes (length (format "%%")) to incorrectly return 2.
I fixed those two problems in a further patch (bzr 105791);
I hope this also fixes the text-property issue.
