If Amazon were in talks about agency pricing, all they likely* needed to do to stay in the clear would probably be to not mention to any publisher that they're even in talks with any other publisher about pricing/contracts.
The snippets of emails that have been released as part of the Apple investigation, show a different situation between Apple and the publishers.
* I'm guessing since I'm not a lawyer, so could very well be wrong.
