Are you sure? If I understand the code correctly, it will inherit the user properties first and then override those passed in the call as new user properties which as such will replace the old values. As for what it should be, it makes no sense to assume that properties need to have the same meaning across every subproject of a build. Or that users of one need to understand the consequences of changing a property which happens to have the same name as another being used on a subproject 5 levels down.
