Actually what you are seeing is that during the 45 day grace period following expiration, the registry expiration date (after the registry auto-renewed) is different from the registrar's expiration date (customer hasn't renewed). If the registrar deletes the domain name within the 45 day grace period, that extra year at the registry is refunded.
