Accepted Answer

If a nonbasic land has an ability that causes it to enter the battlefield tapped, it will lose that ability before it can apply.

Accepted Answer

If Harbinger of the Seas loses its abilities, it continues to turn nonbasic lands into Islands. This is because effects that change subtypes are applied before considering effects that remove abilities, regardless of the order in which those effects started.
