Actually I think the Neos started appearing *after* the Architect created
the version of the Matrix where people are given the choice of leaving. The
basic idea for this version of the Matrix was suggested by the Oracle (as the
Architect himself states).

Naturally the real reason for the different appearance in the third movie
is that the original actress died. However, the in-universe explanation was
given in Enter The Matrix (the video game), where the Merovingian kills the
embodiment of the Oracle inside the Matrix, forcing her to create a new one
(she also alludes to this in the third movie).

I don't think that rogue programs like the Merovingian would make much
sense if they would not also have free will and given free choice.
