I'm a little concerned about applying such fine tuning of individual window behavior to the source code. If there is a general rule in vim for the option values that windows inherit when they are created, I think we should use that general rule unless there is a compelling reason to do otherwise. As you say, this could also be fixed with a ftplugin/qf.vim script, which would be a more consistent method of applying such filetype-specific adjustments.
