PBU doesn't boost resists. The numbers you're seeing for damage types there are damage buffs, not resistance buffs (Power Build Up is essentially a combination of Power Boost and Build Up, so in addition to the +special you also get +tohit and +dam).

I was in a conversation with a fellow player about the utility of Power Boost. I mentioned to him that it should boost his resists by quite a bit. He tested it, and it did not.
Sure enough, the detailed info for Power Boost does not mention it boosting resists. However, the defender version of Power Boost, Power Build Up, DOES boost resists.
It doesn't really make sense for Power Boost to not boost resist buffs, so I'm guessing that this is an oversight rather than an intentional omission.
