I think it is may be consequence of the fact that autocommands (except when "nested" is used) are not triggered from within autocommands (does ":sball" trigger the BufRead autocommand, which sets the filetype? Maybe, for buffers which haven't yet been read-in).
Try
:au BufAdd,BufNewFile * nested tab sball
See ":help autocmd-nested".
