Thanks for providing feedback! This is exactly the bug you pointed out... It happens because when there's a distribution.ini file present, during its load process the default prefs gets reset.. This was noticed in bug https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1428923, but since "most" use cases for policies use locked prefs, it wasn't considered a big issue..
It's a valid bug that we want to fix, but it's non trivial because this area is fragile... it's hard to know all the different things that people are doing with distribution.ini and how a subtle change might break things.. If you use the Locked option in the policies it should work as a workaround. If there are policies that you need that a Locked option is not supported (and is not the default), let us know so we can try to provide more workarounds.
