Of course if your regular resolver server was a UDNS server or Earthlink or an ISP that adopted the new.net TLD's you would have found an A record for pie.shop with or without the plug-in. This also means that if your reguler resolver server had your own private .shop zone (perhaps empty), that would take precedence for regular and plug-in queries for that TLD.
This is cute. It also means that, if your zone server carried the ORSC root-zone, the SHOP TLD, in the ORSC root-zone, would take precedence. Simon, maybe you don't have to talk to them at all <evil grin>. The best defense is for ISPs to start carrying the ORSC zone file.
