I don't know what to say. I think that the software automaticaly considers the secondary beams composite, no matter the shear resistance of the connectorz.
Maybe you should try to use unfilled deck (from slab section options) and assign the load from the concrete manually.
But you can check manually (by hand calculations) one of the typical secondary beams so you can compare the results (is the beam considered composite or not and wether the section is safe or not).
