While whois output is SUPPOSED to be accurate, it may not necessarily
reflect the actual times in the registry (for created/expires/updated).
We, for example, us the "update" slot for our own internal DB changes to
the domain record (or syncs) - we are changing that. NameIT uses the
"created" date for the day the domain entered their system, not
necessarily the day the domain was created (we're asking them to change
that, it's a horribly confusing policy).
It's entirely possible that with whatever special things NameZero is doing
with NSI that the records for some (several? all?) of these domains are
reporting incorrectly (and consequently confusing NSI's transfer stuff).
BTW - the registry automagically denies a transfer BEFORE notification
goes to the "losing" Registrar if the domain is younger than 60 days, so
this is definitely a screwup at NSI :)
