How is the guy behind you meant to know how you have stopped. Auto H works exactly like it should.

The auto-hold function replicates that of a manually applied handbrake.
When the latter is actuated it does
not activate the brake lights; normally these only illuminate to indicate that you are applying the
foot brake.
Therefore, I don't consider it unreasonable to expect a similar pattern in my BMW, regardless of whether it has a manual or automatic handbrake.
So, to sum up, it would appear that I was indeed being serious - sorry to dash your hopes
