It is higher. That's what happens when the lines intersect. The effect is additive. Unless you have a mode setting where the compositing replaces what's below it.
The alpha of the top curve doesn't change at the intersection point. What you're doing is putting one alpha-ed pixel on top of another, and the alpha on the top one lets the one below it show through based on the alpha value of the top pixel.
