Well if I go into that project (that I created with empty project through API) and simply hit save on the Configure page of the UI without changing anything. It will then have the default values that you'd see when creating an empty project using the UI in the config.xml. Very strange behavior.
Anyway, I'm going to assume that I should start with the config.xml that's created by creating an empty project in the UI.
