Actually, it has more to do with co-op zones and the [Mission Teleport] power than anything to do with GR.

Personally, I would go with the explanation that, if you ever engage in combat with a hero or villain operating under the direction of Vanguard in that war zone, you will be banned from it forever. The same goes for Pocket D. So you don't engage in combat with the other faction because the access to the area is more valuable to you that your moral imperative to combat the other side.

I'm guessing that similar restrictions will be placed on the Rogues is Paragon City and Vigilantes in the Rogue Isles in GR. In essense, by making yourself a Rogue, you've expressed a willingness to work with heroes. Attacking a hero in Paragon City would pretty much nullify that, making you a Villain again. So out you go.
