They will have one 2257 page per domain. There are no links of any kind on that page. When you click the link IT OPENS IN A NEW WINDOW. This is common practice and I have not seen any other program do it any differently. This is not a traffic leak at all and every program I have seen does it this way. There is no where for them to go on this page.
All the other links you mentioned also open in a new window so you are not really even losing the traffic. (I am going by the ARS link on your blog) The chances of someone clicking on a customer service link if they are not a customer already is probably zero. And if they do, the link has opened in a new window so they still have your fhg window open.
The only thing I can see some people complaining about is the webmaster referral links. A lot of programs don't give credit for that though. I would say more than half of them don't. You have to send referrals through a dedicated webmaster referral link which is almost always different than your standard link code. If you want to bust ARS's chops over this, then you have to add a lot more programs to the list who do the same thing.
