This is just how the Kinect Server works and is outlined in the Getting Started with the Microsoft Kinect for FRC document and described further in the Kinect Server Code Walkthough. The arms must be in a "valid" position in order to "enable" the Kinect Sticks to send any data other than zeros.

The raw Kinect data is piped through regardless of arm position so you can use that and the LabVIEW Gesture Processing example to implement the same buttons yourself on the robot side.
