The answer is simple. NSI, the registrar, has a different policy as
regards "offensive" words (although I'm not certain this word fits that
description) than does register.com. NSI officials confirmed to me late in
April that this might occur in the Shared Registry System.
I presume that words protected by federal statute (e.g., NASA, Olympic,
Citius, Red Cross, etc.) will remain unavailable through any testbed or
accredited registrars.
