I've spoken to VeriSign regarding this, and they have no domains (that
they've discovered) with any dates in the past for expiry (i.e. 1900). The
domains given thus far for examples have no history of dropping down to a
lower expiry date at the Registry level. It would appear this is a problem
with the current Registrar (which isn't us).
