Ah perhaps I should have been clearer when describing what I did, sorry.
I set #+OPTIONS at the top of the file, and EXPORT_OPTIONS in the
properties drawer for the tree I actually want, as you describe, as two
cases, and then exported just the tree with C-c C-e 1 d in both cases,
to get the behaviour described.

The point is that I require the #+OPTIONS to get what I want, when it
ought to just work with the EXPORT_OPTIONS since I am just exporting
that tree.

Certainly, you’ll find a stripped down file attached.

Thanks!
