Well being the fwbuilder maintainer yes this is the correct behavior as fwbuilder itself doesn't have anything that depends on xauth... I also as a network administrator for a living, and I do use fwbuilder for my own internal firewall, don't recommend running it from the firewall itself anyway... I run it on an internal machine that does run X11 then upload the generated firewall script to the firewall via scp or sneaker-net...
