This has nothing to do with PDFKit or Skim. This is because Preview and Acrobat don't set any text for the highlights. You probably don't realize that the text of the note is not the same thing as the text in the PDF that gets highlighted (just double click the highlight in Skim and you'll see.) Skim sets the initial text of the highlight to the (cleaned) highlighted text, other programs generally don't do that.
