My understanding (semantics) is that when in an automatic exposure mode, the camera will set one exposure parameter to compensate for the other one being adjusted by the user. The implementation on the PSLR cameras is that the user sets the aperture setting, and then pushes a button once. The camera then sets the shutter speed itself. I see what you are getting at that the user having to push a button means that the exposure is now manual, but the routine is closer to automatic than manual, since the camera is still doing all the exposure calculation.
