I would agree that they should have the protection, but if one wanted to get nit-picky, they don't seem to count as serving the countertop area. 210.8(A)(7) says that GFCI protection in Kitchens is needed "where the receptacles are installed to serve the countertop surfaces"
210.52(C)(5) says that Receptacles located in Appliance garages "shall not be considered as these required outlets"
