I don't see a good reason not to do so. Spare some bytes?..
The states for colors and attributes are separate; that's how the bold
attribute bled into your the auto-colored parts of your output. You
could use that property to specify e.g. "give me automatic coloring, but
reverse it".
This only works by accident now, I think. Full resets are emitted after
many placeholders, so attributes don't reach very far in practice. We'd
have to be more careful with these full resets if we'd want attributes
to cover multiple placeholders. An automatic reset at the start of
%C(auto) would go into the opposite direction.
