You must be lucky. There is no way I wouldn't bracket in those type situations. Your asking for trouble. The LX cant know the film characteristics.
Try bracketing in half stop intervals with color neg or BW film, usually there IS a near perfect overall exposure for the scene. Expecting the LX to get it just right on AE with only one exposure is asking for a miracle.
