I know they can be somewhat hard to put into action at times, but haven't read this specific complaint yet. I have read about authors with older titles getting stuck because their publisher ran a few POD copies to keep a book in print.
Don't think do.
That is one area where the BPHs do enforce NDAs.

Best discussion I've seen was over at the BUSINESS RUSCH in 2012:

Basically she says that the only way to get reversion these days is by getting a time-limited contract. Everything else is effectively eternal. And then she points out her own experience where she was told only the top sellers get time-limited deals from the Manhattan gang.

Older contracts might revert via lawsuit but it is no sure thing so it takes big courage (and money) to get reversion.
