Spitballing because I'm not privy to anything. 

If it's tampering, you can't exactly "untamper" a person. Not to say it's always the case, but if the tamper has someone less likely to remain with a team the team that was wronged might want to take the trade still, if it's better than what they'd get negotiating from a further disadvantaged position where the person might be leaving in free agency after the fact.

Would it be nice to get a bit more clarification on why? Absolutely. But there's definitely reasons where facilitating the trade would be a reasonable line in a situation where there's no clean undo button.
