downloaded eclipse 3.6.1 jee and updated it by using our update zip (install new software -> add -> archive -> install). What you then get is an Eclipse instance that runs JBoss Tools. This is also reflected by the fact that your eclipse does not show the JBDS spash but the default eclipse splash screen. I'd therefore pretend: Reporting an Eclipse instance perfectly matches what should be expected.

Technically speaking JBDS is a product. The product launches the eclipse instances and provides branding. If you use a standard eclipse and update it, you do not change its product, you just aggregate further plugins to it. Eclipse stays eclipse and does not get JBDS by an update. The usage plugin therefore detects an eclipse and not a JBDS instance.
I could enhance my detection and try to detect JBDS in such a case but I guess those few cases are not worth the effort. Agree?
