I note that you say you are using 1.7.4. I tried to replicate the problem on a 686 VM. 
I got different results from you.

#auditctl -a always,exit -S open -F success=0 -F auid!=4294967295
# auditctl -l
LIST_RULES: exit,always success=0 auid!=-1 (0xffffffff) syscall=open

So, then I started bisecting the code until found this commit:

https://fedorahosted.org/audit/changeset/268

So, you would need audit version 1.7.13 or later. Please try again with a newer audit 
package. Sorry for speaking too soon.
