Those aren't used to create a new avatar - currently no items are set up by default on stock OpenSim.

I'm rather surprised you were able to actually create those parts, since in my last test Viewer 2 would not let you wear 
anything if it couldn't download your appearance in the first place.

Unfortunately there isn't anything you can do yet, short of having a separate script that creates and sets appearance 
for a new user (I believe this is how grids do it).  Actually, now I think about this there is some code in the XMLRPC 
module that allows you to specify default body parts/clothing, but I haven't tried to use it and this would require 
invoking create user via an HTTP XMLRPC call.

Hopefully these issues will be addressed sometime soon.
