Not used 1.7, only 1.9. And my experience is that only variables defined on
defaults/main.yml on dependant role can be overridden. I usually use
group_vars to override them, but in a few corner cases the only way I found
to achieve what you pretend to do is to override them at the playbook
level, and only when defined whithin the role definition (see below) and
not in the playbook vars block (my tree is far more complex that only
parent and children).
I did just consider it an annoyance, but as you state that it worked on 1.7
(and is what I expected at the beginning), it could be probably a bug.
- hosts: ...
roles:
- role:
var_foo: value
