If a machine offers auto-hold, I believe it should be based
on proper (basic or optimal) strategy, unless otherwise
noted.

Of course, the auo-hold strategy COULD be a "most likely to
win (this hand)" strategy, as opposed to "highest
EV/return". I don't know the particulars of this situation,
but I would suspect something like that would be what's
going on.

I seem to recall some language in one joker game where it
says the autohold holds the cards that gives you the best
chance to make a paying hand. Of coursr that would not be
optimal strategy.
