Just a quick follow-up to other (correct) answers - this question has nothing to do with the vrf-lite concept. The behavior you are talking about is just a normal vrf characteristic. Vrf-lite is a feature that enables CE routers to have more than one vrf. Basically, with the normal CE config, it is in just one single vrf and therefore does not need any vrf config. CE does not know it is in any kind of vrf.
But when you want several vrfs on the CE, you need vrf-lite feature, and if you enable it you will practically disable two major loop-prevention vrf-oriented checks: ospf down bit check and domain tag check.

And before assigning the interface to a vrf, it defaults to the global routing table.
