I thought about doing this exact thing, even putting 'zombie' in the
name :)

In xm-test, this problem starts showing up towards the end of the test
run, and increases in frequency.  My guess is that if we were to do
the rename once, it would occasionally allow another domain to be
created, but under high load, would not help that much.
