Celarus's answer to the player question about the Psijic ORder suggests they do consider morality:
Q:What does it take to become a Psijic?
A: "A noble heart and a solemn commitment to the good. Achieving a membership in the Psijic Order is a serious and lasting endeavor. You must be prudent, but fearless. Withdrawn, but compassionate. It is not something to be taken lightly."

So unless they have some insider knowledge to interpret the Augur's "escape attempts" it doesn't add up.

But the Augur didn't start out as an artifact. They could release it and let it go back to whatever obscure unreachable origin it came from.
That would be even safer than allowing it to stay in a state where it could be captured.
