Odd. Why would it be unacceptable for one group of priests when it appears to be acceptable for several others?

Makes no sense.

Tradition. In the Eastern Catholic Church, they've got a different tradition and it works for them. The Western Church has its own tradition and it works for us. For the rare Anglican and Lutheran convert priests, they come from their own tradition. In any case, there's no violation of doctrine.
