When I registered it, those books stayed on the Kindle and stayed available to me (because the Kindle DRM uses the device serial number).

I enjoyed the Sunday Times, but I don't think it and the other books should have remained available when I changed the registration.
You said it yourself. The DRM is tied to the serial number. So yes, those eBooks are allowed to be there when you registered.
