This is correct. It's not AutoQoS that causes the problem- its because you MUST 
have FRTS enabled in order for the map-class to be attached to the DLCI. And 
this must happen since the service policy is inside the map-class.

I recommend you run AutoQoS on all routers when doing WAN QoS or at the very 
least attach a map-class to all DLCI's.

Also be careful if you are using cRTP. You should ensure that if you are using 
cRTP that both ends of the pipe are configured with cRTP otherwise you will 
experience one way audio.
