abtest.ai had expired and was auctioned off by the registry: https://auction.whois.ai/auctions/view/2541

It's possible that the registry incorrectly showed it as available due to its redemption/expired state.

Thanks for that info Ted. Anyway, the timing seems like too much coincidence. I didn't want to imply that namecheap was at fault here, I don't really know how the domain lookups are implemented.
