Description

Looks like this may have been introduced during HIVE-6835. During initialize(), 3rd party SerDes which do not inherit AbstractSerDe end up getting a Properties object created by SerDeUtils.createOverlayedProperties(). This properties object receives the table properties as defaults. So looking up a key by name will yield the default value, but a call like getKeys() will not show any of the table properties.
