I have always felt that the Staff represented a link between the physical body/world and the spirit/power within. It is a tool to focus whatever that power is, and bring it forth in the form of energy, a conduit maybe. If Saruman the White was more powerful than Gandalf the Grey he may have had the will to break that contact to Gandalfs Staff. Therefore once Gandalf returned as The White Wizard, the breaking of Sarumans Staff maybe have been caused be either overloading that power, or the contest of the wills within the Staff itself.
