Snapshots: Inheritance of options from parent snapshot should be improved (wishlist?)

Description
The situation:
1)
VM with immutable disk. Created a (visible) snapshot on top of that, set it to "autoreset OFF".
This works as expected. When the VM is restore to that snapshot, the snapshot file gets replaced with a new one, with "autoreset ON". OK, this is based on the invisible snapshot (to facilitate an immutable base image). I kinda understand the behaviour.
2) same as 1) but another snapshot layer.
- base-image (immutable)
- user-snapshot-1 (autoreset OFF)
- user-snapshot-2 (autoreset OFF)
When restoring the current state to user-snapshot-2 I expect it to inherit (autoreset OFF) from its parent user-snapshot-1, but it doesn't! This irks me a lot.

I forgot... this is on a Linux host (Leap 42.2, x86_64).
The priority of the bug should be downgraded too.
