My be it it is not so surprising after all. May be it has to do with the 
helicity conservation and vector dominance. For the circularly polarized 
photon its spin is parallel or antiprallel to its momentum. Omega has 
spin 1 and VDM tells us that omega and photon is the same thing and what 
we see is helicity transfer from the photon to omega.
