I guess it mostly matters on what kind of automatic starting we are talking about.
If we are talking about a program being started through the restoration of a safed session, then I think it should of course be restored in the state it was in when the session was safed (whether that is an explicit safe or a safe on shutdown doesn't matter, that is the user's choice anyhow).
If we are talking about autostart, i.e. triggered by an autostart .desktop file, then I guess either behavior would be fine (leaning toward hidden).
