It's a long shot, but I wonder if this may be related to their whois not showing the creation date. The age of a domain has long been an important feature when measuring the worthiness of domain. Typically a domain registered last month would be seen more suspiciously than one registered 15 years ago. So I am certain this feature is taken into account by Google. However, a whois of you domain does not show a creation date (there are old changed: lines, but a system should not need to look at them as a fallback). I don't know how Google actually measures domain age (whois queries don't seem a likely way, but e.g. eu.org is unlikely to be in the CZDS, either), but if it doesn't provide a registration date (which for a niche pseudo-TLD like this doesn't seem much likely to be noticed), old domains like yours would be grouped the same as completely new ones.
