Making the domain unresolvable (for instance putting it "on hold" at the registry) is understandable. Serving a spurious A/AAAA record to redirect to a Web site with a warning is more questionable. Serving a rogue MX record is an absolute No-No: it serves no purpose besides stealing email. ICANN should stop talking about its love for "security and stability" while it does not address problesm like that. Note that gimp.org is a different case: there was no hijacked MX, unlike the Network Solutions case analyzed by Paul Wouters.
