I don't think The Architect is lying. In the very beginning you see Agent Smith walk up the alley and start talking to a copy of himself. He says, "It's happening exactly as before." Then the copy says, "Well, not exactly." He follows up this statement with a smile, referring to the fact that Agent Smith is an "exile" program now. Why would he lie to a copy of himself? I didn't notice this till I saw the movie a second time, but if it is as you say g-boy, this entire sequence would be completely useless/nonsensical.
