The way those tags are automatically assigned is done using a mediawiki class, and no class exists for bots, thus, no automatic tag is assigned. (You can actually use these classes to change the default text for the admin and chat mod tags, by changing the text in the corresponding MediaWiki page. This is our admin box class page, and This is our chat mod class page, as a reference).

I have bot status on two wikis, including this one, and both use JS to create custom profile tags. (Which is great, as you can add tags to literally any user, not just those with a certain right class, and you have pretty much as many as you like.)

This is the media wiki page here that spells out who gets what tags. If you want to go that route, it needs to be imported on the MediaWiki:Wikia.js page.

Also, another protip: The new Visual editor ignores bot status. Any edit by a bot account using it will show up in the RA.
