I don't think it's a "demo" in the strict sense either... it has far too much production for a demo.
My theory was just that the original demo might have served as the skeleton for the track we're hearing, and they built up the instrumentation around it.
Your theory is an excellent one though... I can get on board with that.
The tracks that really deserve the "demo" indentification, are those with just a piano/keyboard accompaniment... or, as is the case with some really old songs like "Sorcerer" and "If You Ever Did Believe," some slight arrangement ideas with guitar and vocals.
Anything else... like the "Cleaning Lady" track... would be more along the lines of a rough-take or an outtake.
But some fans just apply "demo" to everything... which makes it all the more confusing when trying to discuss two or more different versions of the same song!
