"Automatically fit tracks vertically zoomed" is not honored during the actual recording but only after the recording has been stopped.

However it is possible while recording to use View>Fit Vertically and Audacity then performs the vertical fit while the recording is taking place.

In contrast when using File>Import the vertical fit is honored immediately while the file is importing.

If the vertical height of the window is small enough then even after Stopping the recording the zoom to fit vertically does not work properly.

Step 1 is not absolutely necessary to reproduce the problem. For example it will reproduce from default window size.
