Always uses view type from "Page" group

The view output generated by ViewField always seems to use the View Type specified by the Page group in the view settings, even if I specify the view as only to be displayed as a block. eg in my view settings:

These view settings will display the view using full nodes.

- Page ---
[ ] Provide page view
View Type: [Full Nodes]

- Block ---
[x] Provide block
View type: [List view]

While this will display the nodes using a list view.

- Page ---
[ ] Provide page view
View type: [List view]

- Block ---
[x] Provide block
View Type: [Full Nodes]

I believe it should be picking up the setting from the block settings if you have only specified to show the view as a block.

This issue is related and gave me the clue I needed to solve my problem. Although closed it is definitely not fixed:
