It creates a RootContain, as MapQuery automatically adds an
OpenLayers.Control.SelectFeature control, which in returns adds the
RootContainer layer

How do you create the new feature? Through the MapQuery API with
layer.features(your-new-feature-as-geojosn)?

Because of the SelectFeature control. This could indeed be optimized to
only create that control if there is a vector layer initiated.

You shouldn't destroy things that were automatically created :)
