Is drinking de-mineralised water from RO not bad for you? I'd always heard it leeches minerals out of you.

Not a significant concern because it's what your digestive system is designed for. Pulling out the materials it needs from a slurry.

Deinionized water on the other hand immediately chemically to pull in ions. So same action, but with a more powerful mechanism. You'd probably have to drink a lot of deionized water to cause issues, plus water reionizes pretty quickly in air, and it takes terrible.
