The designer should not have worked without a contract. What he did amounts to spec work. Next time, he will make sure that he and the agency sign a contract stating that when he gets paid, the transfer of copyright occurs.
Right, I agree with you 100% that he made a mistake. But the mistake that he made doesn't mean that the agency has a free pass to take his work and use it for free, no consequences.
