I'm not sure why that would be true. On a .com domain, I once received an offer for a domain I dropped. It turned out that the registrar had renewed the domain and kept it in my name. I complained to ICANN and all that happened is that the registrant details were changed by the registrar to a whois privacy service.
Perhaps a question to clarify with support @ Nominet. I believe Nominet will only recognise the person or entity detailed in the registrant field as the registrant. This is why we've recently been through a WHOIS privacy consultation and now have the new Nominet WHOIS privacy system in place which takes account of this. Nominet know who the true registrant or a domain name under privacy is.
