When a job is initially created, Jenkins does a bit of jumping through hoops to set a flag that indicates "don't build this job until it has been saved" this is to support the use case of somebody copying a job and changing the scm to the new scm they want to build but finding that polling has triggered a build with the old scm while they were configuring the job.
Thus all you need to do is trigger a save of the job after it has been created in order to clear the flag... (the hoops that jenkins jumps through is that it captures any "save" actions during the job creation and ignores them while another flag is set, so your save call will have to wait until those hoops have finished) OTOH have you considered literate builds which give you a very nice job per branch scheme that is IMHO exactly what people want!
