If it does affect FFG it'll only do so for the duration of the Power Build Up. FFGs aura is basically a toggle / auto aura so and pets inherit the remaining duration of buffs from their caster as well as the values. So after 15 seconds FFGs defense will return to normal values.

Are you sure about it? Because powers like vengeance with power build up lasts the whole power duration with the buff.
I assume that since the PFF is a pet, it makes one check only as it's summoned (to see your enhancements) and then remains with that.
Still, I'd like someone to confirm it, someone who can actually test, or have tested.

But Vengie is a clickie, not a pulsing aura, which is what FFGs aura is. Vengie gives you a long lasting buff. FFGs aura gives a short, non-stacking buff over and over again.|

It's like the difference on how Power Build Up works on Force Fields Deflection Shield (which it boosts for the entire duration of the buff) compared to Dispersion Bubble (which it'll only buff for Power Build Ups duration).
Basically Power Build Up effects will last for either the duration of Power Build Up or the *buffs* duration (not the life of the entity casting the buff), whichever is longest. Since pulsing aura type buffs have a really short duration the bonus won't last long past the life of PBU.
By all means test it though. Testing is good.
Pretty sure it was tested in Beta and did not inherit PBU buffs. But I can't say that for sure for one reason or another (wasn't invited, boooo).
Even if it did, like several people have said, it wouldn't last long passed the duration of PBU, as pet powers are subject to the same rules as player powers. In this case, that means that when you activate a +Special power, if you have an Auto power or activate a toggle with effects that can be buffed, those effects will only be buffed for each Activation Period that occurs during the duration of the +Special power.
For a power like FFG's Dispersion Bubble, which has an Activation Period of 0.5s (I think), that means that every 0.5s it will reapply its buff, and each time it does that while PBU is active, the buff will be a greater value. So at 14.5s, it willl send out a buffed value; at 15s, it will send out a buffed value; but, by 15.5s, it will have returned to its normal value because PBU's 15s are up.
