I went ahead and looked into this myself. Looks like the issue is that the
properties (lprops) are set using symbol properties with
org-agenda-redo-command, which is buffer-local. However, according to the
elisp manual (at least for the upcoming 26.1 release), symbol properties aren't
buffer-local; only the value itself is. Thus, lprops are overridden by a new
agenda.
I've created the following patch to address this. The symbol property is used
as a temporary variable, but the actual lprops are stored as a buffer-local
variable to each agenda buffer.
