I interviewed with a company that had the same standard of conduct: no dev work outside the company, no matter what. I did not take the job and I am so very glad.
In my opinion, the work that most companies offer are challenges, but not very interesting ones and the no-outside-work clause would prevent me from taking on a spur-of-the-moment challenge outside my particular development area that might actually lead to some self-improvement.

No employer can offer me enough interesting work that I won't find something unrelated I'd like to play with in my spare time, and I'm probably not alone in that.
