Copying a background from one card to another *duplcates* the background so that changes made to one of them will not be reflected in the copy. Placing a background seems to me to at least imply that the author intends for the background to be shared so that changes to the background made from any card will be reflected in all other cards on which the background appears. To make that happen, the group must be set to behave as a background.
So while it may seem presumptuous of Rev to take this step without notifying you or confirming your intent, the ultimate outcome does in fact feel correct to me.

Yes, that's what my test made clear... "place bg xyz..." WILL set the backgroundbehaviour to true!
But setting that prop to false again does NOT work! I still don't think this is correct!
Any other hints and opinions are very welcome
Klaus,
Indeed, there is nothing in the docs that provides information about this automatic setting of the backgroundbehavior to true when using the "place" command.
However, using "copy to" puts a background on another card without setting the bg-behavior to true.
Maybe that's why - having two different commands that almost do the same, but with the exception of the bg-behavior? Intended, but not documented?
Cheers,
Wilhelm
