See SA and Rema at the end of siman 25.  The whole reason for removing the
tefilin before musaf is because it's not appropriate to say "keter yitnu
lecha" while wearing a crown of our own.  The real question is why people
who don't say keter still take them off; the Taz doesn't seem to know,
and seems to suggest that it's not such a well-founded minhag.
