Does getDefaultParameters() works for global properties?

My test plan has a java request that include a parameter:

<elementProp name="My Arg" elementType="Argument">
  <stringProp name="Argument.name">My Arg</stringProp>
  <stringProp name="Argument.value">${__P(myArg,1)}</stringProp>
  <stringProp name="Argument.metadata">=</stringProp>
</elementProp>

When running in non-gui mode, I specify "-JmyArg=42" and getDefaultParameters() will return 42 as expected.

However, this doesn't work remotely, even after I changed "-JmyArg=42" to "-GmyArg=42".
>From jmeter client log:
  jmeter.engine.ClientJMeterEngine: Sending properties {myArg=42}
>From remote jmeter log:
  jmeter.engine.StandardJMeterEngine: Applying properties {myArg=42}

So it looks like the property gets pass over but getDefaultParameters() returns the default value of 1 instead of 42.

Another data point is that properties such as threads count        
  <stringProp name="ThreadGroup.num_threads">${__P(submitThreads,1)}</stringProp>
works correctly with -G, but not the properties return via getDefaultParameters().

What am I doing wrong?  Does getDefaultParameters() works for global properties?

Thanks.

Oh never mind.  I accidently commented out call to context.getParameter() to retrieve the value.  Duh!  Now the -G properties are working as -J.

Sorry for the false alarm.
