Additional Information

We apologize that we were unable to address this issue within the current product support cycle.  If the issue continues to affect your work in a supported release, please contact Technical Support.

Workaround

Use a schema.ini file to enforce the schema of the .csv. If all fields are defined in the schema.ini, ArcGIS respects the schema and does not append the _X and _Y fields into the table.
