it could be that the name is going to be deleted and you are just seeing that silly phantom year that the registry adds to names.
When a name 'expires' the registrar (Tucows in this instance) extends the registration period by an additional 40 days. We have a 'deal' with the registry, that is, we temporarily extend the registration for the name, and if, at the end of the 40 day grace period the name is not renewed, then we send a command to the registry to delete the name. Since the registry contends that the name has been renewed (since they have not received an explicit 'delete' command from Tucows and the name is in the 40 day grace period) they display the renewal in the whois, and thus the confusion. Make sense? wanna send me the name (offlist) and I will check it out for you?

It's been in parked pages now for a year - so it's just re-expired again a day or two ago, though it's stating an expiry of 2008. It's no longer resolving to the parked pages and is responding with nxdomain or status: clienthold, depending on the lookup used. It's "taken" on an availability check.
