"On manuals, when you stop, put it in neutral and let the clutch out, it cuts the engine. When you press the clutch to get into gear, the engine restarts. "

Sounds logical. Those three events are logically ANDed together to turn the engine off.

I'll bet it has a 1st gear sensor to enable the clutch-coming-up starting cycle..
