Problem is the reality isn't going to match the contract. There will be handbags in front of the client which is likely to end up with the client dropping you to avoid the legal hassle. You could be lucky that there is an understanding between client and agent(s) and no one wants to rock the boat but in my experience clients want nothing to do with warring agents and the contractor stuck in the middle.
TF's comment about 'registered' is a very important point but even if you could prove you are contractually in the clear the agents will quite happily cut their own nose off at your expense.
IMO I would tread extremely carefully and be fully prepared to end up with nothing.

Maybe. I've switched agencies before but only when the client was complicit in the deal.
It depends on the client really because generally they are the ones who will make the decision to play ball or not and it's most likely them that the agent will come after.
Also read the sticky on why you shouldn't sign the opt out.
