I would call that a bug or "missing feature" in CGI::App. Someone else
has already identified it and submitted a patch to the maintainer.

We'll hope it appears in a new release soon-- I think the behavior you
expected is the more intuitive one.

If you are already sub-classing CGI::App, you could add a "header_props"
routine to your class that behaves how you expect.
