I've seen several cases of this recently.
One is "Russian Dolls":
Netflix ID
http://api.netflix.com/catalog/titles/movies/70053312
If you hit the API for this individual title, you get a representation that says it's not available on instant at all.
But the webpage for this title clearly says it's available and so does the netflix new titles RSS feed
http://www.netflix.com/Movie/Russian_Dolls/70053312
XML excerpt is below.
