I believe that you can get domain taken if the link to neulevel or affilias becomes not available during the registration process. That is, it was available for the lookup, but then problems occur at the final registration - you are then given an error message (wrongly I think) of domain taken - happened to me a couple of times as well with the ability to actually complete the registration later (even though it was supposedly taken)
