It is not really a bug, but I was not expecting this to happen either.....

No, it is not the auto-approve that creates the items, but the optional "thing item provider". This is a feature that I have recently implemented to have a quick success after installation and it is very handy for demos. It is enabled in the file https://github.com/openhab/openhab2/blob/master/distribution/openhabhome/conf/services/runtime.cfg - note that this file should only be part of the demo.zip file. In there, you will also find then a "Things" group defined in the demo.sitemap, which will directly display you all discovered devices and let's you interact with them.
