Ah, Emacs Lisp manual effectively says that it's not guaranteed. So,
what would be the best way to modify single values in a list like the
above?


 -- Function: plist-put plist property value
     This stores VALUE as the value of the PROPERTY property in the
     property list PLIST.  It may modify PLIST destructively, or it may
     construct a new list structure without altering the old.  The
     function returns the modified property list, so you can store that
     back in the place where you got PLIST.  For example,
