Temporarily released due to Toulouse commitments, assume he will be back after the weekend.

Not sure how I should feel about this... Was initially worried that he'd been released by Toulouse but was relieved once I'd read that it was the England camp.

I would think he needs to be playing as much as possible to get him match fit given he hasn't been starting every game. In fact he looked out on his feet towards the end of the Munster game. That said England can't insist he stays in camp anyway!
Playing at Toulouse has got to be some of the best preparation for international rugby that he can get.

Probably as simple as the fact the Toulouse are not bound by the EPS agreement (if it's still called that), and are therefore perfectly entitled to insist on having him back. England obliged to release him.
