It's a text-property.  Since text-properties are copied to strings by
default ("duplicable" in extents terminology -- and they /are/
implemented in terms of duplicable extents), it was copied to history
list, and back to the minibuffer.

The copying probably should have been done using
`buffer-substring-no-properties', but I don't know if this behaviour
is the fault of Gnus, or XEmacs (or some bad interaction somewhere.)
Lars, can you help with this?
