I am not certain how Trulia pulls up its REO data, but I am quite certain that they are not doing anyting "illegal or shady". The data they receive comes from public records. As I said in my answer, this property IS NOT LISTED. If this property has gone back into foreclosure yet again, it will show up as having a Notice of Default filed, but that does not mean the property is listed for sale or even available for purchase. As you may, or may not, know, a bankruptcy filing halts the foreclosure process, so even IF this property has an NOD currently filed, it could be 9 months before it hits the light of day.
