What if you switch the clauses? "He can be annoying, but he is likable"? Or even just "annoying but likable"?

Changes the meaning. You’re describing the evil twin of the one I described.

I'm pretty sure most people use 'likable' without qualifying it with negative traits. I think the most common qualifier is 'very', as in 'very likable'. Are you someone prone to giving frequent compliments? If not, that may be why it seems like there's always a 'but' attached.
-
If I use 'likable' to describe someone, it's probably qualified with the specifics of what makes them likable, like funny or smart or generous or something.

OK, I think I get it: “Venkatesh is likeable, but he insists on putting ‘but’ after likeable.” Am I on the right track? (ha!)

Actual people are likable by default and have to earn my dislike. Fictional characters are the other way around. "Archetypes" is one of my favorite topics!
