I don't think Harlequin ever participated, though; I've been reading 'em since I got my nook in Jan 2010 and they've never been lendable. It makes me angrier when I buy lendable books that later have the feature disabled; it feels like they're taking something away that I paid for.
As for the imprints, if they are new acquisitions sometimes there is a transition period before they're all put under the parent company's policies--that's how it's worked in the acquisitions I've had to suffer through at work, anyway.
