"Why would the wood moving after oiling be a problem, considering the wood will move at least as much, probably much more, when playing."

Here is my logic:

1. An instrument wood moves while playing - but within safe tolerances such that it does not crack

2. An instrument that has cracked has moved beyond the tolerances of the fibres of the wood

3. A cracked instrument has the potential to move back to an uncracked appearance with oiling

4. Glueing a crack seals it in that position

5. Oiling the wood after glueing will move the wood, but not move the now fixed crack

6. The fixed crack after oiled wood might produce other tensions within the fibre of the instrument that may compromise it such that another crack becomes more likely

Theoretical - but probably not borne out in practice?
