First, it is marked as a bot, which is easy enough to confirm just by looking at the Active Users page. (Although you do have a point -- its contributions should not be seen if you're hiding bot edits, but they're clearly visible anyway; Geth, any ideas why that is?) Second, blame the spammers who are creating several dozen bogus accounts per day -- they're doing just as much to "flood" Recent Changes as the New User Message bot, which can't distinguish between a real user and a spammer sockpuppet.
