Use of bearoff truncation with XG

From the options > settings > rollouts window I see a truncate in bearoff option. However if I use x ply with Variance Reduction for x = 1,2, 3 I am not able to click on it. If I instead have the 1 ply with VR, accurate setting then I am able to click on it and can choose "if dead cube", "never", or "always". Normally I would want it always for a money game rollout, and if dead cube for a match rollout. What is happening with the x ply with Variance reduction options?

I suppose I could make a custom setting, but it seems strange that I might need to make one both for money and for matches to get the bearoff truncation the way I want (which seems clearly the way it should be done). Am I misunderstanding something?
