and add hidden rules about what transactions they will ignore ...

This one is a simple lie.
The codebase used for Eligius's policy is in my public git repository, and documented on the website.

"Transactions without a fee will be processed based on confidential anti-spam testing." http://eligius.st/~gateway/faq-page/faq-5

That's (very) obsolete information

I figured as much, which is why I pointed it out.

Maybe kano wasn't intentionally lying, but rather was relying on the misinformation which is documented on the website.

and even then says it applies to transactions without a fee - ie, begger transactions.

I have to say that I've never heard of the term "begger transactions". If all miners cared about was maximizing short-term profits, we'd probably have mostly empty blocks, since every time you include a transaction you increase the probability of your block being orphaned, and transaction fees are tiny compared to total block reward.
