The job of the agency is to make the sale, keep the client happy, let the developers work and deliver the project. One of the pro's of working for an agency for me is that I generally don't have to worry about dealing with the client. The agency protects me from these things. If you don't mind dealing directly with the client then I don't see why they couldn't just let you deal with communications with this client. In this case you would be keeping the client happy while still being able to deliver. If I were running the agency, I wouldn't worry too much about employees snagging my clients. Development and sales (not to mention running an agency) are two totally different skills.
