I understand your point now and reread that end section 3 of the article. The authors seem to imply that it is possibly resultant from a toolkit which a) doesn't implement the generation of provable primes correctly and therefor b) doesn't comply with NIST standards and will be not be considered for FIPS 186-3 approval. I've tried to do quick research and the method of generating random primes seems to have been added between FIPS 186-2 and FIPS 186-3. Since FIPS 186-3 only came out (approved not draft) in 2009 its probably, feel free to prove this extrapolation wrong, that these older key pairs could've been generated by an older toolkit, or in a time where this random prime generation recommendation was unknown. So once again we're bitten by these multi-year certificates.
