As mentioned, I don't really see a problem to it. Jade sung the demotapes, and these demotapes are sent to Ayu to select the songs! Other than CREA composed songs, I could say almost all the songs Ayu has sung already have demotapes that were not released. It's just how the music industry works. Sweetbox (the team) as composers and musical artistes themselves could release a compliation of their composition. It's perfectly fine.
That doesn't really make any of Ayu's songs become unoriginal or sound unoriginal. If fans make the assumption that this release means that Ayu songs are original, then that ought to be the case for many of Ayu songs (which are compositions on demotapes that never got released).
These aren't even 'cover songs' in the first place so yup, don't think it's appropriate to refer to them as 'cover songs'. I personally see them as a complimentary bonus to the Ayu songs. It lets you understand and try to imagine how the songs were originally meant to sound and how they turned out to be eventually (as done by Ayu herself).
