I am sorry, this sounds a bit like a vague fairy tale from nowhere
land. Could you be a bit more specific? Which version of BBDB are
you talking about? Is it your own experience, or are you talking
about someone else?
I guess that text properties can end up in the database itself if
you are using something like (buffer-)substring instead of
(buffer-)substring-no-properties when grabbing a fontified text
string that ends up in BBDB.
