From what I understand, the values you set in "#+PROPERTY: header-args" is
not inherited further down once you use a ":header-args:" property drawer
(even when org-use-property-inheritance is set to t).

I made up an elaborate example and have put it up here[1], that explains
when the header-args values set in #+PROPERTY or PROPERTY drawer are
effective.

In addition, using the org-eldoc package[2] (in Org contrib) helps a lot in
seeing the effective header-args values for a given source block. Just put
the cursor on the BEGIN_SRC line and you will see it all :)
