RaQ 550 assigns the "admin@xxxxxxxxxx" alias to the admin user, by default.
(It does this for "nobody", "root" and "postmaster" as well... By design.)
And since it is a ProtectedEmailAlias, it can be only be changed by admins ?

You are free to continue to hack the virtusertable directly, of course ?
    admin@xxxxxxxxxx       admin

You can add "admin helpers" (admin-like accounts), but I'm not sure that
you can remove the admin account altogether ? It is rather special...
