Probably because eBGP routes are accepted by the directly connected eBGP
peer regardless of synchronization-they just wont propogate to that routers
iBGP peers.

It accepted the eBGP over the iBGP routes because iBGP routes have to be
synchronized, and in your case they weren't. You can get around this with
confederations as well.
