Autologin no longer triggering login policies

Hey everyone, strange issue here. One of our 6 Mac Minis set up as digital displays recently stopped running policies that trigger at login when our autologin user logs in. All of the other Macs (same version of macOS, same configuration, same everything) work perfectly, running the login-triggered policies just fine when auto logging in.

Upon restart the autologin user logs in automatically successfully, and policies that run on "startup" run just fine, but not the login trigger. If I manually logout of the autologin user and login with another user then the login-triggered policies execute as expected.

If I look at the computer usage logs in Jamf for the affected Mini, a startup event is listed, but there is no login event that follows it, yet the autologin user *is* logging in. The other Minis show both a startup event with a blank "username at login/logout" field, but are then immediately followed by a login event, showing the proper username in the "username at login/logout" field.

Any ideas as to what might be preventing these policies from running only when automatically logged in as the autologin user? Thank you!
