No, that is not the expectation unless you have storage cleanup disabled (storage.cleanup.enabled).
"quite some stale snapshots " - that sounds like leftovers from failed CS snapshot operation and/or failing SR scan on XS due to some corrupt VHDs interrupting XS GC. Can you check for errors in SMlog on XS relating to GC on the particular SR?

I'm using FC with PreSetup on XenServer 6.5, with latest RC of ACS 4.5.1 Is it expected to do manual cleanup on the SR? -- Erik
