In that scenario, I'm not sure whether the user wants background indexing on or not. (e.g. more likely *someone else* turned it on in the project config, who wasn't aware of the user config). Maybe there's a principle here that project config for an inner directory is actually more specific and therefore should take precedence over user config for an outer directory? That seems like it might be at least as useful as the current behavior, but we shouldn't be implementing it setting-by-setting.
