To recreate I have to clear my cookies and start from scratch.

If you login to facebook.com and select "keep me logged in" then go to your site, it will automatically log you in via fb_connect. If the user does not exist, it will create a new user if you have set fb_connect to do so.

This only seems to happen the first time. Once I log out of the drupal site, and return back to it, I do not get logged in again. But if I clear my cookies and repeat the process fb_connect will consistently log me in without me clicking the "Connect" button.

I'm concerned because the first a user comes to the site they will not have any cookies from my site obviously, and they will be automatically signed up for a new account.

That's not how it works.

When you click through the connect button, you are "authorizing" the app. You only have to do this once.

But each user has to do that once. Noone will be logged on automatically without clicking the button first.

Ah! Thanks Dave, I get it now. I removed the app from facebook, and it no longer "automatically" logged me in. My mistake.
