That would give Congress the power to regulate these contracts; it wouldn't make them unconstitutional automatically, unless there's some argument I'm missing.

True enough, I'm not sure why the word 'unconstitutional' was used. This seems to be a pretty clear case of "laws enabled by the commerce clause", so all it would take is a repeal of Sherman to change the situation.
