No, but the attached is the simplest example I can figure out with the
key signature and the notehead specification in a separate block from
the notes.  (In real life, they would be in a separate file.)  And it
does exhibit the bug.

Can someone suggest a way to keep the default stuff, including the
notehead style and the key, in a file separate from the notes, and have
the notehead style survive the transposition?
