I think this can be fixed for admins (by preventing users with "doanything" capability to be shown in those places (recent activity, groups...).
But any user with "courseview" capability assigned at higher levels is, in fact, "enrolled" in the course at all effects, i.e he/she is a participant.
And this is behaviour in Moodle 1.9.x afaik, and it's actively being discussed for Moodle 2.0 in MDL-11798 MDL-17949 and http://docs.moodle.org/en/Development:Enrolment_plugins_2.0
I really think the "courseview" duality (view + participate) cannot/won't be easily fixed in 1.9 at all. 
Administrators do not have any role any more in 2.0dev, participation page is now using the real user_enrolments table 
thanks for the report!
thanks for the report! 
Users with roles assigned above the course level (e.g. at the Category or System level) who can view all courses within that scope show up in a variety of inappropriate places, including the Groups/Groupings potential members list and the Recent Activity user list.
