There's no guarantee that the company that do the restoration will be better at authoring the disc, since it depends on who they hire to provide the compression. We see it all the time with bigger studios as well, Paramount being an obvious example. But I agree that you would think that they should care enough to make sure that the actual product (the film on the disc) is up to standard.
