Godaddy claims that the domain expired, but the WHOIS record says otherwise. I suppose that someone could have made a payment that got the domain date extended, but then the payment failed. But wouldn't the record only be updated after the payment was confirmed?
And to that end, I've never heard of a registrar ignoring an extension and force-expiring a domain name. The whole thing is extremely confusing.
The Godaddy statement is dated August 25th, and so is the WHOIS record. The situation may have changed after the statement was made.

Payments sometimes bounce after they were approved (chargebacks, weird check stuff, etc), so there is a procedure to unrenew names.
