My brain keeps parsing your post and seizing up at your lack of sympathy for the publishers. Did you read all the content in the blog post I linked? Because it looked to me like the publishers were experimenting to see WHY EXACTLY their books were being excluded and expunged. They saw why--the "adult" tag--but that doesn't make it right that that was the cause of their problems.
Seabound, I'm glad to have been a help. I haven't read the books, actually--I just came across the post by way of links in the livejournal community that was the base for protest and info of some of this whole thing.
