I am also curious about this.

Perhaps... the real question is: if a user is banned but has an article of
their own/about them, why should they be allowed to post *on-wiki* even when
banned...? I don't think they should get a special priviledge. Being banned,
what should they be contributing beyond pointing out BLP violations? Isn't
that what OFFICE & OTRS are for?
Maybe the wording on the ban policy should be that there are no
circumstances where banned users, even if they were 'notable wikipedians'
can be allowed to interact on-wiki, no different than other non-notable
banned wikipedians? I don't see why they should get special rights that
others bannees don't get...
