I noticed that some time ago: http://sourceforge.net/p/darktable/mailman/darktable-users/thread/537C49FB.4000108%40gourichon.org/#msg32363060
...although I seem to remember there is an issue open on redmine, I can't find it. It renders the autoapply lens-correction quite unusable. I think that the module should have two different "auto" ticks, one for the lens make/model and the other for the focal length/distance etc parameters, so that you can decide what will be applied as-is and what will be recalculated. By I admit I did not know the internals of darktable, and I have no idea on how complex could be implementing this in a backward-compatible way... BTW if you read the linked thread, there is a similar problem for auto-exposure module, and I do not know if for others modules. Summarizing, there is not a clear way to separate "reapply with exactly this parameters" or "reapply recalculating the auto part". In the case of the lens correction module is even more complex, given that sometime you want to force one of the thing (model) and not the other (focal length, etc.).
