I had actually gone and checked was doing the right thing, but I didn't
manage to convince myself that this was intended behaviour rather than
an implementation detail. What I saw in the docs for default was:
"If multiple default values are visible, only the first defined one is active"
and I suppose "visible" is what is used to cover the if part.
