I'm not sure that this is a DNS problem so much as a software 
development problem. Software developers may have been unaware of the 
existence of some of the new gTLDs and this may have played a part in 
what happened.

Having ICANN telling software developers what they should and should not 
do might result in this kind of response: who is ICANN?

If ICANN wants to do something useful about all this then the best 
option would be to promote the use of the Public Suffix list (with some 
explanations) rather than simply hoping that developers are aware of the 
Root Zone database.

ICANN could be really useful in this respect by providing a reference 
webpage with each gTLD and ccTLD and code fragments in the most commonly 
used development languages. ICANN could even set up its own Github 
account to make it even easier. But it still may not be specifically a 
DNS problem.
