This would be consistent with the position one would normally expect with a through ticket: the baggage allowance should cover the entire journey, across both sides of the connection.
As I understand it, a passenger who buys two separate tickets is technically not making a "connection" but is making two separate journeys. Then they would have to pay the appropriate baggage fees associated with each journey.
