Would it? By my reading, "once per cycle" could simply mean that once the truss or catch points are awarded, they won't be awarded again until the next cycle.
Also, 3.1.4 spells out when truss and catch points are "scored" (i.e. when points are accrued), and they all refer to the point when the actual action occurs.

3.1.4 spells out the criteria for when the conditions for truss scores and catch scores are to be considered satisfied. If they're satisfied with the Auto balls (and it seems to me that they can be in theory, though it might be physically difficult to do without incurring a penalty), then why wouldn't they be scored?
My gut feeling - which may be completely wrong - is that they didn't intend for there to be this distinction where Auto balls aren't considered "part of a cycle". I hope that this gets clarified with an update.
