That is because (afaik) vanilla 0.43 does not have apply undo at all. In
other words apply actions that result from properties are simply
ignored.

In my case the way I am tracking items in undo is I seek selected items
which now I realize is not the most robust way of doing so. That said, I
did not make this fix to "hide the bug" but rather for the sake of
consistency because I believe one needs to be in edit mode to edit, and
getting properties for an object, particularly when there are many
crammed near each other I believe one needs to select the item to
reflect what they've selected, and then do operations that pertain to
editing. I believe that allowing to edit items in this way while not in
edit mode is essentially a bug from a usability perspective as it erases
differentiation between performance (or whatever you will call it) and
editing mode.

All that said, I need to reconsider how to deal with undo and I have a
pretty good idea now what needs to be done (e.g. by passing obj pointer
to the undo in addition to the canvas pointer)...
