UMG are a separate entity from the studio - this is similar to New Line and Warner Bros. Warner is a staunch HD-DVD supporter that was told by Time Warner to release BD's for whatever reason, but New Line is format Neutral as far as we know as the management hasn't been poisoned by M$.

Basically Universal Group hasn't directed it's subsidiaries one way or the other so separate studios can do what they like.
