I believe it is because ChatSecure adds its own account on the device, 
likely to enable linking with people in your usual address book.
But I'll let Nathan answer that in more detail. :)

Great stuff otherwise, congratulations to the Guardian Project!

Any chance it will appear soon in the Guardian Project f-droid repo?
It doesn't seem to be there now: gibberbot-latest.apk 19-Aug-2013 12:33 
4.0M at https://guardianproject.info/repo/

Cheers
