Ok, this doesn't look like a PulseAudio bug then. I'm removing the release
blocker status, and may close the bug later. Since alsa reports that headphones
are unplugged, PulseAudio is working as designed when it doesn't set headphones
as the default device.

If you don't have headphones plugged in, why do you want pulseaudio to play
audio to headphones?

If you actually do have headphones plugged in, then this is a bug in the kernel
driver or the hardware is defective. In this case you can work around the
problem by removing this part from
/usr/share/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer/paths/analog-output-headphones.conf:

[Jack Front Headphone]
required-any = any

That change will be overwritten when PulseAudio is upgraded, however.
