They should not.

Reasons I can think of is if something is making the auto discovery
unreliable in your network, or maybe the IE version you have deployed is
buggy and doesn't do the auto discovery correctly.

I would suggest you monitor your DNS and DHCP traffic to see if there is
any odd patterns related to the proxy discovery. Also monitor traffic to
the server(s) serving the PAC file (but as it works with manual PAC
config it's the problem is most likely not here). Maybe this will shed
additional light on the problem.
