What you are describing is a fairly cut and dry case of the publisher acting illegally. Why isn't the author disputing it, first directly and then, if need be, in court? Do multimillion dollar international publishing companies really hold grudges against individual authors?

And depending on the wording on the contract, it may indeed boil down to "all rights" that the publisher is licensed until the expiration of copyright.
