I've had the same problem getting an expired domain indexed. Admittedly, the site doen't have many decent links (only 1 PR5) but yahoo/msn have at least indexed the homepage.

Let's assume our expired domains don't have a penalty (probably true as penalties seem to be rare). What's different between the sites using expired domains you got indexed and the others? Links? Original site theme compared to post-expiry theme?

We already knew that pagerank and inbounds were lost once a domain expired. Maybe google is frowning upon all expired domains from an indexing perspective too.
