I am confused here.
What do you mean by "printing"?

I am again confused.
There are three main functions handling headline numbering:
1. `org-export--collect-headline-numbering'
2. `org-export-get-headline-number'
3. `org-export-numbered-headline-p'

`org-export--collect-headline-numbering' is evaluated unconditionally,
regardless of num:t or num:nil settings.

`org-export-get-headline-number' and `org-export-numbered-headline-p'
are API functions that get called by the individual backends as needed.
If they deem it necessary to ignore :section-numbers setting, they are
free to.

What is wrong with these three functions?
