As Laurent Moret-Bailly points out in his answer to both your questions, the above non-separated group scheme is never the automorphism group scheme of a stable curve $X$ over $S$. Even worse, if $(X,L)\to S$ is a polarized flat proper finitely presented morphism, then $Aut(X,L)\to S$ is an affine (hence separated) group scheme. Now, some varieties $X$ come with a "canonical'' (or "anti-canonical'') polarization $L$ (e.g., for stable curves of genus at least two you can take $L=\omega_X$) in which case $Aut(X) = Aut(X,L)$ is affine.
