The auto-close jobs are not fired when a user is globally banned on a wiki that doesn't have that user locally present.
When a global block is created from a wiki where the target user has no local account (i.e. $targetUser->getId() === 0 on that wiki), the onGlobalBlockingGlobalBlockAudit hook handler returns early, and no auto-close jobs are dispatched at all — including the CrossWikiJobDispatcher that would enqueue jobs on wikis where the user does exist.

I no longer see this bug. There is an issue of cases not being closed if the user does not exist on the wiki which has the case. I don't know if this is a problem or not.
