I've heard two theories -- either that the reader gets the aliyah to balance the curses, or the reader gets the aliyah (and is called up as Mishehu Rotzeh, not by name) so that it doesn't sound like he's cursing the oleh. Both of these entail the reader getting the aliyah, but since it's all custom I suppose there could be still more variations.
