Adjustment layers tagged gray upon creation

Upon updating to the latest beta (8/28 release) I see that eash time I create a new adjustment layer it is automatically tagged gray. 

Is this a feature or a bug?

I have to manually uncheck the gray each time as my workgroup uses gray tagged layers for other purposes. Editing existing docuaments is creating much confusion today.
