but this is about the tuplet engraver, in voice context.
Scott, if the explanation below doesn't help,
can you submit a complete file (including the definition of
\first)?

if you have
\context Voice <
\property Voice.XXX = bla
\context Voice = VA { .. }
\context Voice = VB { .. }

then this is equivalent to
\context Voice = DEFAULT <
\property Voice.XXX = bla
\context Voice = VA { .. }
\context Voice = VB { .. }

and XXX is modified in the DEFAULT voice context, but not in VA and
VB. If you a setting to carry into all voices you 'd better do
\context Voice <
\property Staff.XXX = bla
\context Voice = VA { .. }
\context Voice = VB { .. }
