Isn't this the same behavior you'll see if the domain is placed "on-hold" for non-payment? I've seen many domains that we service have this same problem, and inevitably it's becuase the domain owner never paid the NIC fees. It's my understanding that NetSol stopped publishing payment status information in the whois database, because domain resellers were registering domains on speculation, then re-registering them when they were deleted from the database. The "on-hold" flag in the database was being used by speculators to determine when to re-register the domains so that a legitimate domain seeker could not get them.
