Amazon also often doesn't bother to price-match and it only happens to a very few books, as far as I can tell.
Someone in here, when I asked this last year said Amazon removed their 99p ebook because it was free on Smashwords. Though there's probably nothing to stop you putting it back once you delete the Smashwords competition.

I would guess that was more a case of not knowing how to add a sig rather than any sinister plot to circumvent sig-strippers.

It's under User CP and Settings and Options.
