This is on purpose. It is for backwards compatibility with legacy documents
where "Automatically" was used and resulted in the legacy currency, you
certainly don't want that to suddenly display Euro instead ... If loaded in
another locale and the original locale of the number format was system (and not
fixed to a specific locale) the currency changes as well, this is all crap ... 
In fact the "Automatically" currency format should not be used nowadays, there
is no easy way to get rid of it though, as legacy documents still need it.

The actual default currency format is determined differently and obtained from
the LC_CURRENCY Currency elements that are correct and replace the symbol in
the currency FormatCode elements.

Taking this bug as a placeholder. Maybe there's a way to offer the format only
if it is used.
