You focus on something else.
I can run cpanspec --add-buildrequires perl-generators Tk-JBrowseEntry-5.22.tar.gz --add-provide "perl(Tk::JBrowseEntry) %{version}-%{release}"
If it is correct.
It isn't. You are not supposed to add those Provides yourself. BuildRequires perl-generators would do it inside the built packages. Adding both makes no sense.
Why is it not automatic?
Other have answered that. I only tell you what needs to be present within the spec file for the built package dependencies to be added on-the-fly.
Instead, you expect the cpanspec generated file to be perfect, which is a different issue.
