tl;dr - until the user opens the settings page then the defaults aren't copied into your app. This is the expected behavior by Apple.

Personally, I think this is terrible. It means that you will have to set your defaults in code just in case the user starts your app without going to the settings page first (which will be true for about 99% of use cases!)
