Confirmed.
Though I am not 100% sure.

Org is indeed ignoring top-level property drawer when parsing
#+SETUPFILE.

Dear All,
I think that parsing top-level property drawer is simply an omission
from the time we introduced top-level property drawers into syntax.

We may either implement this support or leave things as is and document
the current behaviour.

I would be in favour of implementing top-level drawer support in
SETUPFILE, but there might be alternative opinions. WDYT?

To work around your issue, you can use keyword property syntax:

***test.org***

#+PROPERTY: header-args:sh :var A="this is a"

Best,
