It happens in vc-find-file-hook, which clears all the properties.  Also,
when finding a CVS-controlled file, that immediately yields the new
value for vc-state, from CVS/Entries.

Also, questions such as this are perhaps better discussed in personal
e-mail, since this is really just about understanding what the current
code does.
