I updated mantis http://opensimulator.org/mantis/view.php?id=5927 with an 
alternative patch to provide

        osGetInventoryDesc(string item) instead of osGetInventoryDesc(int type, 
int number)

Anyway, thank you ME Verhagen for pointing this workaround.

Still wondering if I can figure a real way to get the landmark properties 
without relying on description field…
