The notes have been appended when you actually processed the order
(submitted it to the registry). It was taken then, or you tried to submit it
again. You can look at the registration statistics in the RWI, and you'll
see the domain never completed.
The OpenSRS system is very solid here, never seen one glitch.
Good luck !
