I had a similar experience with Hover and DNSSEC. Also, as stated on their site now:
'OK, .cn domains are a bit tricky to transfer. Trust us, we've helped a lot of people through the process. We'd love to help you too: give us a ring at 1-866-731-6556 so that we can sort things out for you. At no charge of course.'
...which is very misleading. They do not offer .cn domain transfers at all. I reported this 3 months ago but they still have not changed the wording as they said they would.
Basically they used the argument "we are a reseller" (even though they're owned by the registrar) to avoid the rules about supporting DNSSEC, and then relented by saying they could do absolute bare minimum to allow its use on a one-off case for $500 per domain.
This was enough to make me move. I'm using namesilo and couldn't be happier.
