I've seen it happen in the past where a client had checked for a domain and when it came to registering it was only available via a premium listing. Only generics, never with country TLDs.
Use a reputable registrar for searching, even better become a reseller and do it via your reseller account.
Unless there are specific rules against it, I could see this becoming worse with all the new TLDs.
