Isn't this pretty standard? When someone bypasses a mandatory recall he forfeits his number on the list for which he is being recalled? In this situation, that leaves him with the other, post-transaction, number at his "new" company. If I'm missing something I apologize, no harm intended. Just coming at it from a different angle.
