i experienced that bug too. fortunately my list of entries was short so i could quickly fix it myself.

i switched to gandi.net however for an unrelated reason.

i like gandi because they are well connected with the FOSS community (they sponsor FOSS conferences for example) and because they support anonymous payments for a domain.

that means in an emergency, when you realize you forgot to renew your domain, you don't need to find your old gandi account to pay.

i find that very helpful especially for FOSS projects, where the domain is often registered by a volunteer who may not be available or have the cash to renew. instead anyone in the community can renew without hassle.

greetings, eMBee.
