Harbinger of the Seas doesn't have its ability removed by Oko, Thief of Crowns' +1 ability
I had an Oko on the battlefield, my opponent cast A harbinger of the Seas on their turn, on my next turn I used Oko's plus 1 to turn the harbinger into an elk with no abilities. Harbinger said it had no abilities, but all non-basic lands were still islands.

This is due to layers. The type changing effect from Harbinger happens in an earlier layer than the effect removing abilities from it.

Can confirm. Same exact thing happened to me.
