Yes, I noticed this problem about 4 weeks ago and fixed it for
release 5.9.4. From the checkin_notes file:

So it will be fixed in the next version of BOINC: 5.10.x
If you don't want to test the 5.9.x versions...

It wasn't fixed in the 5.9.9 version I D/led earlier today with a time stamp of 3:14pm yesterday.
Also, it seemed the fix was addressing the problem with the local override, and made no metion of the problem with the default mechanism behaviour.
In addition, 1 in the element mentioned makes the apps run all the time, 0 makes them go idle when the user is active.
Finally, I haven't rolled out 5.8.16 on any of my hosts yet. So if someone could verify these findings on a Winbox running it, I'll put in for 2 'attaboys' for ya! :-)
"Once the global_prefs_override.xml file has been damaged, you probably need to run the simple GUI preferences dialog again to fix it. You may have to turn the "Do work only after idle" option off, save it, and turn it back on again and save that.
If that doesn't work, trash the global_prefs_override.xml file and run the dialog again.

When you continue this conversation at the BOINC forums as well, Charlie will be able to help you without me as the person in between. :)
