Property inheritance doesn't work that way.
It only means that it will look higher in the hierarchy if current entry
doesn't have the property you want. This is explained in
`org-entry-get-with-inheritance' docstring:
"Get PROPERTY of entry or content at point, search higher levels if needed.
The search will stop at the first ancestor which has the property
defined."
Here, current entry has the property, so it ignores the one above.
