Yes, this is correct behaviour. It has been introduced when changing the way in
which record properties are declared. The old style only required types, while
the new style requires properties. To provide some compatibility, properties
that are named like the types have been introduced as a default (so the old
record type declarations will still work without changing wikipages).

This does not mean that you should not name properties like that (though it
might indeed be confusing); it just means that you cannot change the datatype
of these properties to be different from their name (which would really be
confusing). If you use these properties regularly, it would be useful to
(redundantly) declare their type on their wiki page anyway, to clarify the
situation for other editors and to ensure that the type stays the same in all
future (the default properties can change their name if, e.g., the content
language is changed).
