It's not actually correct that they were introduced in LC8 -- the properties have been there since at least 6.0.1 ( https://github.com/livecode/livecode/blob/release-6.0.1/engine/src/lextable.cpp#L1343) and probably before.
Previously the home stack would set the custom property of the error stack on startup (using the engine properties), which to my mind is a slightly bizarre state of affairs and I'm not sure why it was done that way.
