mmhh ... I would rather say that the defaults can be as simple as
possible (or desired), but should result in reasonable output without
any user interaction. But without adding a \usepackage{listings} or
modifying the variables you mention the LaTeX output is unusable in this
case.

Then the default should be loading one of them rather than using package
macros in the exported LaTeX sources without loading a package that
contains those macros.

I could, and thanks for the tips, but I still think this can be
considered a bug (if I'm not the only one having the problem).
