Comment:

 Idea to solve this permanently as brought up in the UI chat July 10 2012:

 * Pages have a new, hidden meta field to indicate "System Page" or
 something that better describes it. Pages are marked System Page when WP
 is using it as a placeholder for a custom blog set up, or a plugin can use
 it to indicate a page is used for a contact form (for example).
 * Pages are highlighted with a meta description in the pages list,
 indicating why it's there (created by? reason?)
 * Most importantly, these System Pages are grouped in the pages filter to
 be excluded from the regular list, so the list may read "All | Published |
 System Pages", which should be a better long term solution for this ticket
 specifically (user confusion).
