Hi Darren,
my quick check of services manager xml schema -
https://github.com/yast/yast-services-manager/blob/master/src/autoyast_rnc/services-manager.rnc
show that what you are looking for can be 
<services-manager>
  <default_target>multi-user</default_target>
</services-manager>

If this do not work, then it is probably bug and we need to check it
together with logs what can go wrong.
