Resolution

The business rules, through the use of "Remaining Only", locks in the resource with an allocation equal to the remaining only percentage.

This is done by adding a segment on the allocation curve equal to the project start/finish with the remaining allocation percentage.

Changing the "default allocation" means that any allocation outside of what's "locked in" will have a new percentage. There is no allocation that fits this and therefore you don't see a change to the allocation when you change the default.

To make the allocation change in this scenario you can change both the default allocation and the segment allocation percent.
