Ok. Is this classified as a bug or as a feature? IMHO, it's rather
the former...

I don't know how easy this is to fix; otherwise, it should probably be
documented.

Hmm. Perhaps there should be hooks for \consists and/or \remove to
allow resetting of such properties.

OK. This was actually a misinterpretation of mine while reading the
internal documentation: Only grobs have default values; both
interfaces and engravers haven't (and neither `remove-empty' nor
`remove-first' is listed in the grob section).
