Why I get error message when I attempt to initiate the transfer of domain name, while other go through?

I have domainname.com and domain-name.com.

They've been both registered at same date.

I unlock both, get AUTH codes, and find that the one with hyphen goes through while for the other one I get an error message:

An error has been found. Please see below.
This domain name is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later.

Why would the domain be "temporarily unavailable" while its "sister" is not?

Thanks

Resolved

This was a nice one - like check if your PC is plug into the wall.

It turned that domains that could not be transferred had bad entries in contact data.
The background is that I have transferred them once already, and privacy data stayed there, and then got deleted, corrupted, whatever - I know I have not changed anything manually.
Then, when I tried to transfer domains (again) to another host, I run into problem I initially posted about.

Now all is fixed and there were no complaints from the system

From my (user) perspective - it would be nice if we actually get informed about reason why something did not work.
