Just as a point of info, here is the relevant text, taken from the 2011 Amherst College Supplement to the Common Application:

"FOR EARLY DECISION APPLICANTS ONLY:

As an ED Applicant I confirm that if admitted, Amherst may share my name and my Early Decision agreement with other institutions".

Plus other stuff on Educatuional Righst and Privacy Act, etc.

Bottom line: If you applied ED, you signed and agreed that they can release your name. And it looks like several of the schools do just that!
