Good catch. I'll open an issue on the CSL schema repo. But concerning precedence have a look at https://docs.citationstyles.org/en/stable/specification.html#inheritable-name-options where you'll find:

> When an inheritable name attribute is set on cs:style, cs:citation or cs:bibliography, its value is used for all cs:names elements within the scope of the element carrying the attribute. If an attribute is set on multiple hierarchical levels, the value set at the lowest level is used.

That's about inheritable name attributes, sure. But I'd infer from that that there seems to be a preference for settings at lower levels.
Maybe we should prohibit the use of styles and text-casing with macros as these run somewhat against the purpose of macros...
