Even if a trigger is set as default trigger for a LED device, the respective trigger module (if built as module) isn't automatically loaded by the kernel if the LED device is registered. I think we can do better. Try to load the module asynchronously by alias ledtrig:<trigger name>. This requires that such an alias is added to relevant triggers.
