This happens even when the Zeus role is occupied by a player. It would apear to be intended functionality of the Zeus game master gameplay mode module to add a respawn position for each participating side when no Zeus player has joined the game. However since the latest patch (1.34) it now happens regardless of whether the game starts with a player in the Zeus role or not.

Also it should be noted that this only happens if you add respawn points manually using scripting (BIS_fnc_addRespawnPosition). If you place a respawn module in the editor it will be recognised by the game master module and the random respawn point will not be placed. This is a good work around but it is still potentially limiting compared to using script function.
