Bug Description
I'm actually not sure if the bug is that ubiquity is not properly setting the configuration so that I am logged in automatically, or if LightDM is just ignoring that option.
But, on every install of Oneiric Beta 1 I've done so far, I've chosen "Log in automatically" when setting the user account info up during the install. In every case so far, LightDM has failed to actually log me in automatically, forcing me to instead enter credentials.

Since setting auto-login in System Settings works, I suspect teh problem is with Ubiquity.
