I meant in the new code, not in remove-text-properties.

The current duplication of code (worse yet: it's not actually identical)
is a problem.  I'd rather have some extra consing (and just mark the
consing one as obsolete).  And I'm pretty sure we can also remove the
duplication without adding extra consing.
