The automatic run only handles simple updates. You still need to run it manually sometimes; there will be a "<file> unhandled, re-run sysmerge" message on screen during boot, and if you have things setup so you receive root's email you'll get a message telling you when that needs to be done. Also note this automatic run is only done when you use the installer to update; if you untar sets at runtime or "make build" then you can "echo sysmerge -a >> /etc/rc.sysmerge" yourself if you want to do this at boot.
