Optional arguments are in square brackets in LaTeX. Try %r instead, so
you can write:
*** {0.9\textwidth}{0.7\textheight} :B_overlayarea:
:PROPERTIES:
:BEAMER_env: overlayarea
:END:

Options without brackets are not options anymore, but random arguments.

Would you mind suggesting a better phrasing?
