Ooh this interests meas I love Anthony Burgess and have read a lot about him.
Burgess always thought that Clockwork Orange was far from his best book. I can't see him as a tool of the authorities though, the guy was (as well as a talented, talented man) a piss artist of the first order. He was also - amusingly enough - constantly pissed off for being confused with Guy Burgess, the Soviet spy.
I think this theory would have amused him greatly. His favourite book "Finnegan's Wake" was after all taken off him at customs as they believed it was written in code.
And I think "Clockwork Orange" is similar to the phrase "bent as a nine bob note" i.e. something incongruously wrong.
