This was fixed in the English manuals in the development branch
last February, but thanks to you I noticed it was still wrong in the
French NR, which I've now fixed.  Thanks for catching it again.

Good point, and I'm not sure of the answer.  I'm not aware of any
other grobs that require \overrideProperty to be used. 
\overrideProperty
can be used to override properties of (some?) other grobs too.  It
acts like \once \override.

I'll wait for more expert responses before I amend the docs.
