The manual reference is about keywords, i.e, #+LATEX_HEADER:. You are
using properties. The two are slightly different. 

In particular, each value from a #+LATEX_HEADER keyword becomes a new
line whereas new values from properties replace the old ones (hence the
PROP+ syntax).

Long story short: if you want multiple lines, use keywords. There is no
support in multi lines properties in Org. Moreover, the use cases are
sufficiently rare that I don't even think it is worth implementing. In
any case, such implementation should preserve the equivalence explained
before.
