The manual says:

    SUMMARY-TYPE
         The summary type.  If specified, the column values for parent nodes
         are computed from the children(1).

In other words, Org mode computes the value of the property for your
Task 1, from Task 1.1, and Task 1.2.  Whatever is inside Task 1 does not
matter.  In fact, it might be overwritten in some cases.
