This is certainly a big part of the problem. Ultra light strings, tuned down on a short scale guitar is a recipe for buzzing.

The notion of a guitar that doesn't buzz no matter what is a myth. It's always a tradeoff. If you want super low action, and floppy strings, there's going to be buzzing sometimes.
