I had that too, and it freaked me out...
Turns out, though, that those apps are native background service apps for iOS. iPodOut controls the output sent to a car deck or TV or whatever, DemoApp is for in-store demo videos, TrustMe is for authenticating the sync relationship with your library... etc etc.
They are normally hidden by the system, but in the ever-buggy, basement-published world of software apps, there is something wonky going on with the latest MobileSubstrate stuff used for jailbreaking that is making these hidden apps appear. I get it after I install something, you get it at random times (or maybe you installed something last night and didn't realize the apps showed up?).
Anyway, just a simple re-spring or even a reboot will restore things to normal. Until you install something again, or until the jailbreak community gets its **** together. Stuff like this doesn't exactly help their cause for legitimacy.
Edit: Just saw your edit about it being fixed in Cydia. It's not. It was fixed for one day, and then a second update came down the pipes that screwed it up again. It's been like this ever since. One day of the issue, followed by one day of the fix (decent response), followed by 3 days (and counting) of the issue (not so decent followup).
