Comment (by Stephan66):

 Changing the CRS definition to use "+proj=stere" instead of "proj=sterea"
 solves the problem. After that the custom CRS appears under "User defined
 coordinate systems" and can be used for individual layers and the project
 properties.

 The Layer Properties dialog ("General" tab) itself does display the custom
 CRS using "proj=sterea", even when it is entered using "proj=stere".

 I admit I don't know enough about proj4 definition strings to know what
 this change means, but QGIS should be consistent. Shouldn't the test fail
 if using "proj=sterea" makes the definition unusable for QGIS?
