To me it looks as if the problem is not the property list itself,
instead it seems to me as if the XLISP GET function causes the trouble.

Audacity CVS HEAD (November 30, 2009):

I open the Audacity Nyquist prompt and type:

(putprop '*scratch* 'value 'property)
(format t "p-list is: ~a~%" (symbol-plist '*scratch*))
(format t "property is: ~a~%" (get '*scratch* 'property))

I click "Debug" and FORMAT prints:

p-list is: (PROPERTY VALUE)
property is: VALUE

I open the Audacity Nyquist prompt again and run only the
last two lines (same code as above):

(format t "p-list is: ~a~%" (symbol-plist '*scratch*))
(format t "property is: ~a~%" (get '*scratch* 'property))

I click "Debug" and FORMAT prints:

p-list is:  (PROPERTY VALUE)
property is: NIL

The property list still exists, but the XLISP GET function seems
to be unable to get the property's value. I hope that this is not
just another stupid typo from my side.
