For example, if I plan using e.g. the default A319 in kilograms with passengers AUTO and freight NONE (BER layout):

…or about 103.5 kgs per passenger+luggage (instead of the expected ~104.33). Notice we are not limited by MZFW, MTOW or MLW.
If I manually specify 126 passengers, I get the expected results:

When I instead plan in pounds, I get the same payload weight regardless of whether I specify AUTO or the same passenger count manually, 230 lbs per passenger with luggage exactly.
I get the “opposite” behavior when using an airframe that’s set up in kilograms (for example the ToLiSS A319 airframes).
Planning in kilograms, I get 100 kg per passenger exactly, regardless of whether I use AUTO or manually specify a passenger count. But when planning in pounds:
AUTO

This doesn’t seem intentional.
