Default I would think that

these times (if true) are due more to a stronger engine then most. While Nissan auto's are good they are not dual clutch units like the PDK or used on the Ferrari and Lambo. I would still think the manual, car for car, would be a tad quicker with a professional driver. With an average driver, then I would give the nod to the auto in most situations that call for straight line acceleration. Again, I would have to see more tests with different cars to believe this test. I, am however, a sceptic under most conditions.
