If you run with GIT_TRACE=1, you can see that the autostash feature uses "git stash create" and not "git stash push". That creates the stash commit but _doesn't_ push it onto the stash list.
So it's working as intended. The rationale comes from the very first commit adding autostash, 587947750b (rebase: implement --[no-]autostash and rebase.autostash, 2013-05-12), which says:
The advantage of this approach is that we do not affect the normal
stash's reflogs, making the autostash invisible to the end-user. This
means that you can use 'git stash' during a rebase as usual.-Peff
