Magic Lantern Timelapse

For anyone who knows anything about the software, I've been looking to shoot some "holy grail" time lapses (day to night or other way around). When I turn on the feature which is supposed to adjust iso and shutter speed I get weird results. When the intervalometer is running and I have the bulb timer set at the desired time here's what happens:
The shutter speed slowly increases picture after picture until it's at nearly 1/10 or 1/30, which is horrible for night shots. The automatic feature doesn't seem to be doing it's job. Obviously I'm doing something wrong but I don't know what.
Does anyone with any experience know how to get this automatic feature working? I believe it's the bulb ramp which adjusts the lighting and shutter speed. Help/ quality link = +k

I don't shoot the way that Magic Lantern does the holy grail type thing. Usually I'll set the settings for a regular timelapse but have the camera take pictures in "P" mode. Normally you'd get nasty flickering if you did this once you put the timelapse together, but you can use a program called LRTimelapse to completely remove any and all flicker. I wrote a tutorial thread on it, look in the M&A Directory.
