It looks like you found a new Mugen bug actually. New to me anyway.

Turns out Mugen can't buffer commands that are a single "hold" input. Probably a limitation or oversight in its input code.

We could probably add this limitation if the char doesn't have ikemenversion. But is it worth it? It took this long to find one char with this problem.

About the char in particular. At the top of the cmd file it has this:
command.buffer.time = 4
That means commands should be buffered for 4 frames unless specified otherwise.

Then you have these:

[Command]
name = "holda"
command = /a
time = 1
buffer.time = 1

[Command]
name = "holda"
command = /$a
time = 1

Notice how the second one lacks a buffer.time. In Ikemen it is buffered for 4 frames (the default set above) as you'd expect it, which breaks Drop Kick's charge code. In Mugen it won't be buffered at all because of this bug and the charge code will work.

About fixing the char: the cmd file has two sets of "holda", "holdb", etc commands. You can either delete the second set or add buffer.time = 1 to them like in the first set.

Interesting insight, thanks.
