I tested it myself in SP. Runewords which give + to skills will simply overwrite existing skills which overlap. So it doesn't matter if the staff has +1/+2/+3 or even +0 to the skills Fire Bolt/Inferno/Warmth to start with. It'll disappear. That's why, my ideal LEAF staff would be a 2 socket +3 to FM(and possibly some other skill/mastery) staff, so that I will wind up with +6 each to Warmth/Inferno/Fire Mastery.
GenericKen: Hey, don't go ragging on the Inferno. Damage per second isn't EVERYTHING. Blaze has artistry going for it(the ability to draw in flames), Firewall has the damage going for it, but for pure fun, Inferno is still my choice. There's just something about holding a lighter's flame against those cockroaches...
