Hmmm... Now I'm getting confused.
The \AtBeginDocument{...} wrapper around the bullet settings was added
so the bullet settings worked with frenchb a couple of years ago.
If I've understood this thread it seems you are now saying that we
should get rid of this wrapper in order to get it to work with
frenchb.
Hmmm... perhaps the authors of frenchb have fixed their previous
problem and broken our workaround.
