I can think of three scenario's, both based on the fact that there was a Belgian domain name broker that had several thousand template websites running in Zope.
Sorry, but we're no domain name broker but rather a Zope-loving ISP (nor are we Belgian, we just happen to operate in this country as well as a bunch of other countries) - these were actual customer sites, even though they were just business cards. And yes, we moved them to Intershop ePages for a number of reasons (all commercial, by the way - technology-wise I would have liked to keep them in Zope) and thus we were the main cause of the plunge at Netcraft (we were the main cause of the rise in the first place :-)) We're still having a couple of thousand of our own domain names with business cards in Zope, but also around a hundred 'real' customer sites - and I hope we'll grow that number fast enough to get Zope in the top of the list again, this time with real real sites...
It looks like the last scenario, I checked via Netcraft and noticed that the broker switched hosting provider and in the process it's sites switched from Zope to Apache. Here is one example:
Actually we went from a borrowed IP address to our own range, but apart from that your guesses were mostly correct.
