 Why would backup servers have different MPC than the servers they back up?

 Because they aren't always provided by the same company.

This is exactly the same problem we have today with backup MXes and their anti-spam or anti-virus implementations. This is also why many spammers choose to always route their spam through the backup MXes, under the assumption that they will be less well protected than the primaries.

There's nothing new here. However, this is an issue that we need to keep in mind.
