Special treatment of bots was apparently removed from the code in r48482: http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/extensions/FlaggedRevs/FlaggedRevs.hooks.php?view=diff&r1=48481&r2=48482

In any case, I can confirm that bot edits are not autosighted. See for example [[hu:Special:Contributions/TXiKiBoT]] (which had bot flag on hu.wp for years): most of the lines without background color are edits where the bot edited a sighted page, and turned it into a draft.

checkAutoPromote() should do this already
Can you check whether it works? I don't see any special page with log, so I don't know how it check... ;/
On pl.wiki we temporarily grant bots editor flag, but it isn't a solution.

And this: http://uk.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=%E5%B8%82&diff=86435&oldid=86339 is not autosighted too

Yes (at least on huwiki).
Also on plwiki and dewiki ;/

Setting prio to high, this needs fixing ASAP. Bots are causing thousands of pages to become unsighted on dewiki. We also have to many bots to either give them all editor rights or block them.

Tim added to local conf "$wgGroupPermissions['bot']['review'] = true;" and now it works (previously was "$wgGroupPermissions['bot']['autoreview'] = true;" and it didn't work).

Yea, I asked him to do this as a quick workaround, because the problem was really getting serious, at least on dewiki. Obviously, this is not a solution, but it shows rather clearly that the problem has something to do with the fact that the "autoreview" feature is broken. A fix is being worked on.
