Well...since the carrion crawler and the beholder, et al. were never OGC to begin with*, one could argue that NG did not have the right to make the names OGC.
I wonder if future printings of TOH have/will have designation of those names as 'IP of WOTC used by permission', or if they'll be removed.

* - they existed in draft versions of the SRD that were distributed under the "gentleman's agreement", but did not appear in the final copy. The SRD drafts were, IIRC, marked as not final and did not release anything into the OGC. Technically, at any time before publishing the released SRD, WOTC could have pulled the plug on the entire project.
At least, that is my understanding, but IANAL.
