Usually there's a grace period where the owner can still renew it, and before anyone else can. If the domain actually expired 60 or 90 days ago then they're probably hosed.

  But it's still registered to Ryan Dahl/Joyent, so it probably can still be renewed.

Yes you are correct about that... It happened to me once on an old domain and I was able to get it back in the following week after expiration but I don't recall seeing a parked page during that period of time. Doing a quick Whois for nodejs.org show that the name is expiring today: Domain ID:D157222203-LROR Domain Name:NODEJS.ORG Created On:29-Sep-2009 14:50:55 UTC Last Updated On:20-Sep-2011 00:04:23 UTC Expiration Date:29-Sep-2012 14:50:55 UTC Sponsoring Registrar:eNom, Inc. (R39-LROR) Status:OK Ouch!

  eNom does all kinds of shady shenanigans with domain renewals. There are stories of names going up on their auction block the moment the registration expires (meaning someone has to pay a greatly inflated amount of cash to reclaim the name)

    "eNom does all kinds of shady shenanigans with domain renewals." This wasn't done by enom. It was done by the reseller, namecheap. Their DNS is in the record (and it points to a page controlled by namecheap).

    Unlikely. As much as enom sucks I don't think one could misconstrue any of their ineptitude as evil. They do however have the redemption period at inflated prices, but I've never heard of them moving an expired domain to immediate auction. [citation please]

        None of those reference enom directly -- only resellers of enom. That's like saying I bought a widget off amazon & chase paymentech is fraudulent as a result.
