Hi, I don't have any information about why that specif term is being flagged. Questions about general AdWords policies should be posted to the AdWords forum:
http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/AdWords As I mentioned previously, if the policy error can be exempted then you can add an exemption request to your operation to allow the keyword to be added. It will then go through a more thorough review process to determine if it meets the policy guidelines.
