Don't you think that they want to keep the exclusive for a while in the hope of pocketing a higher commission. This was normal practise in the Bay Area whenever the market was hot.

They're worried about someone like ziprealty selling the home, because even though they still get their higher commission, and zip charges a lower one, it puts their cartel at risk. The more success zip has, the more listings they might get.
