The problem is you're relying on obscure behavior of an option. You're setting (or not setting) an option in the target config file, then subsequently changing it's default value, then using whichever happens to override the other. See my reply to Mark.
the 'default' command was supposed to work as follows:
set value if not set.
default is really equivalent to
if ~ value value = x end
so value is set only if not set at that point.
