maybe the build defaults for buildbot are broken.

You can enable that in the menu

Global build settings  --->

and then select

Set build defaults for automatic builds (e.g. via buildbot)

I don't know exactly what other options are enabled by selecting it so 
you probably need to check the source for what it actually does so you 
can troubleshoot it.
