Response from Gandi support:

  Thank you for your feedback. 

  This is due to the way our system was originally designed with some registrars. Indeed, this is not the case for all the extensions and varies according to which registry is returning the whois information. 

  However we agree that it might cause issues so we are currently working on a new authentication system to fix this. This new system should be released in a few months from now. Thank you for your patience and for your understanding. 

  If you have any further questions, please let me know.
