I haven't tested all of the combinations, primarily because I'm only interested in what I've set it to.... However, I set Positive Traits to 2 and started a new game. When trying to customize any of the starting dupes using the gear icon, there is only 1 positive trait listed in the window and clicking apply resets them to having 1 trait instead of 2. I would not be surprised if this affects negative traits also.
Edit: While playing around with other things I discovered I was slightly incorrect about this bug. Apparently this only occurs if you make the settings change, then immediately start a new game without restarting the game (the game doesn't prompt for a restart). If the setting is changed AND game is restarted, it has the correct number of traits.
