That doesn't happen for me...

The only way is to do one of the M-x bbdb-* commands, and give it the right
set of regexps. This wouldn't be hard to change.

I use bbdb-create about once every six months (and then only for people
without email); the easiest way to create new records is to let it happen
automatically. Select a message by the person you want to add, and type
":" or ";".

Because "electric" modes are totally lame and I'm sorry I used them. Either
turn off bbdb-electric-p, or always remember to hide the BBDB buffer (with SPC
or C-h) before selecting another buffer.
