Make locked sections follow default configuration, even if an override is in place

Problem/Motivation

I'm trying out this module and wondering if I understand correctly how the module is supposed to work.

Steps to reproduce

Suppose I have a content type with two sections which I will call "header" and "main". The header section is fully locked and contains the "Authored on" block. The main section is not locked in any way and contains the body and image fields in a 50/50 layout. Editors can customize the layout and the blocks of the main section.

Now, while editing node/1, an editor chooses to change the layout of the main section from 50/50 to 67/33. Next, a site builder adds the "Authored by" block to the header section in the default layout of the content type.

What I was hoping would happen (and expected, given that #3109521: Get settings from default configuration once an override is in place → is fixed) is that the header section on node/1 is rendered using the changed default configuration (the "Authored on" block is shown), even though an override is in place. What actually happens is that the change to the default layout does not have an effect on node/1 - at least not until you revert to the default layout.

Are my expectations wrong, or is this a bug?
