specifically tests the behavior. I'm not sure if this is actually true as many Inkscape's markers don't include fill or stroke color. Since they are defined in the <defs> section, the fill defaults to black.
Except when you create new markers from objects, they are moved with their style to defs, so nothing is inherited.
If the marker fill were defined at the point of reference, I would think that it would take the object's fill... which is normally "none" for a path with an arrowhead.
Yes - "inherit style from path using it" sounds simple and attractive but it's not a solution: normally, you want the path's stroke paint to become the marker's fill paint. Which is not quite "inheriting" and requires some other mechanism.
BTW, why do some Inkscape markers include "font-size" in their style?
I guess that can be cleaned up.
