which is what's expected. It might be that you didn't update the setup
of the buffer after you added  the #+OPTIONS line (just press C-c C-c on
it). Equivalently, kill the buffer and find-file again: the option should
be active.

Assuming of course that you have a reasonably modern version of org. Mine is

Org-mode version 7.8.03 (release_7.8.03.230.g67cb2.dirty)
         (which includes a few local patches)
