Tino is right. The mistake behind the handling of optional arg NO-PROPERTIES (which was added in Emacs 24.4) is to assume that `thing-at-point' returns a string. This is a common misconception. It can return anything that Emacs Lisp can return.
Is there a need to pick symbols from a buffer as symbols? Don't know. My use-case is editing and strings are the suitable format.
