I'm thinking that's part of the "returning to the source", and the Oracle is 
actually the accumulated knowledge of all the One's that have gone before, 
which is why the Oracle didn't show up in the Matrix until around the time 
the architect gave people choice, as well as why the Oracle is changing her 
appearance as Smith grows out of control (obviously I'm retconning there :-).

So once Neo loses his love, he does indeed return to the Source, uploading 
his program via counter-infecting Smith, who promptly de-rezzes into the Oracle.

It almost seems to imply that no only does the human get a choice, but the 
software gets a choice too, and *that* is what screws up the Matrix as well.

   so much "what color is your parachute?" as it is
   "what color is your nose?"
