Emacs has it as well, but killing and yanking currently keeps text
properties, which is sometimes annoying.  Another example:

<foo> blabla
<bar> http://cool/site
<baz> please repost
ERC> 

When bar now looks at his buffer and decides to copy the buttonized
URL from his previous post, he cannot hit RET and send it, because
there is a text-property on the button, which is yanked together with
the URL with a local keymap that binds RET to something different.
Minor annoyances, to be sure.

Using buffer-substring-no-properties is no real solution unless we
want to reimplement all killing functions and locally bind them to
the default keys in erc-mode.  That would suck majorly.
