This is not correct. Local pages _can_ overwrite the data from Wikidata, but do not do so automatically. They have to use the noexternalinterlang [1] parsefunction to do so. As of now, both would be shown. Insofar as both point to the same page, that should be considered a bug and is going to change. I filed a respective bug [2].
