#+EXPORT_FILE_NAME is an in-buffer export setting with global effect.
According to 13.2 Export Settings section of the Org manual,
In-buffer settings may appear anywhere in the file, either directly
or indirectly through a file included using ‘#+SETUPFILE: filename or
URL’ syntax.
Because export settings are global, they have higher priority over the
COMMENTed heading.
Further, you have two instances of the #+EXPORT_FILE_NAME in your
buffer. The behaviour of Org is undefined in such scenario, but the
current implementation detail makes Org use the first instance found in
the file during export.
Do note that usage of #+EXPORT_FILE_NAME and #+TITLE like in your
example is erroneous - they do not apply to their subtrees. Please use
heading properties instead for the desired effect.

This file contains no export settings.
# #+EXPORT_FILE_NAME: foo.pdf
line is not an export setting. It does not matter that it is a comment,
blah#+EXPORT_FILE_NAME: foo.pdf
would not work either.
--------
I think that the manual is not clear enough about applying in-buffer
settings and keywords. We may want to clarify this detail.
