When you apply a character format to the *entire* paragraph, you also
change the format of the paragraph definition. That's why you can't
get rid of the override by applying "Default P Font" to the paragraph.
It has changed the default font of the paragraph.

To avoid this, add an extra space at the end and do not include that
space when applying the character format. As long as there's one
character left that's not affected, the default font won't be changed.
