In GNU Emacs 19.27.1 (sparc-sun-sunos4.1.3, X toolkit) of Fri Sep 23 1994 on raccoon.cs.rochester.edu

In a -q emacs:

(setq s "foobar")  --> "foobar"
(set-text-properties 0 4 '(face underline) s) --> t
s --> #("foobar" 0 1 nil 1 5 (face underline) 5 6 nil)

I think it should be #("foobar" 0 4 (face underline) 4 6 nil)
which is what using add-text-properties gives you.
