Yes, that is what is happening; the [DEFAULTS] is propagating through,
and the [DEFAULTS] in the second file take precedence. Unfortunately
that's also what is happening in the first case; anything passed
through on the command line fills in global_conf (the same thing
[DEFAULTS] fills in) except just like in this other case the
[DEFAULTS] in the file overwrites the ones you pass in on the command
line.
I looked into the code some, and it would touch a bunch of stuff to
change this properly, as there'd really have to be a set of global
forced options that would get propagated everywhere, the opposite of
how [DEFAULT] is propagated.
