I suppose this should be

(with-current-buffer other-buffer
  (with-silent-modifications
    (put-text-property beg end 'face 'bold other-buffer)))

since otherwise the modified status and 'buffer-undo-list' are taken
from the current buffer instead from 'other-buffer'.

Which might break in the case where text has been changed in the other
buffer before.
