The problem is that before lilypond starts doing anything else it sorts
all requests by time.
This allows for < {foo bar} {baz jazz} > and { <foo baz> <bar jazz> } to
mean the same things.
In your examples the two requests happen on the same time (because they
are in the same simultainonus group} and on each time slot lilypond
performs all requests befor it performs the notes. Hence the setting
will be both overridden AND reverted before the note occurs.
