This is fixed now.  Full re-indexing now preservers map properties
across the re-indexing.


On another similar topic:

The quick re-indexing may not be what people expect yet, but if it
doesn't pick up/drop the proper maps, you can always click on the
full re-indexing to fix it.

What does everybody expect the quick re-indexing (which is also what
runs at startup if enabled) to do?

What should the labels for these two in the map menu be?  We need to
decide on something quickly so that the translators can get to work
on the two new strings.
