It certainly does. Try the following example:
\version "2.6.0"
\layout{\context{\Score extraNatural = ##f }}

\score{
\relative c'{c cis ces c}}

For the keySignature, I have already provided the explanation, namely
that the default keySignature is hard-coded into the program and cannot
be changed in the \layout{...} block. Why the program is designed that
way is a completely different question, though.
