I suspect that date is possibly a deactivation date.

NSI does some *very* funky things in terms of domains. I had one
situation arise where we had someone wanting a long-expired domain (6
months or so), we managed to transfer it (how is another thread in and of
itself) and discovered, that NSI had tacked a year on to it -without us
doing a thing-, so it had 2 years on it by the time my client go it.

I suspect NSI has a second internal registration system that does things
the public can't see.
