There was something on the Nominet-Tech mailing list about postcodes recently. They first check against the regex someone posted recently to make sure it looks right, then look it up in a Royal Mail database of postcodes to check it actually exists. Nominet get a fresh copy of the database every so often (every couple of months I think, but I forget how long exactly) so it's sometimes a bit out of date. Also the database sometimes contains errors or has omissions. As it's been verified with the Royal Mail I guess it's the former in this case. If Nominet still won't accept it I'd suggest contacting them directly at [EMAIL PROTECTED]
