I am skeptical regarding this claim since there are various kinds of
Staff.  For example, if you do

\new MensuralStaff {
     \key c \major
     \numericTimeSignature
     \time 4/4
}

for better or worse the expectation will be to have a numeric time
signature in the mensural staff.  An override at Score level will not
actually show any effect since MensuralStaff has a local override of its
own taking precedence.
