iApp strictness of ownership is not so granular as to track an object property like the description field. The entire object, a virtual server in this case, is owned by the iApp. That is why you must disable strictness in order to modify its properties. Since strictness is generally enforced, the iApp framework does not need to re-create the objects when you reconfigure the template. It only modifies those properties that you have changed. In this case, there are no commands in the template that specify a change to the description property, so it is left alone. It may help you to know that iApps do not keep a separate copy of any object information. Instead, objects that the iApp creates are marked with an "app-service" tag. You can view this tag from tmsh. Objects that are created through tmsh or tmui without using an iApp are marked "app-service none".
