Yes, that's how modern Xorg behaves and the Freedesktop people (Xorg upstream)
don't consider it a bug.
Instead you are supposed to run a desktop environment (aka GNOME) where
you configure such things at run-time.
Disabling Hotplug ("AutoAddDevices"), as you wrote, restores the previous
behaviour.
