Are there special escrow considerations when dealing with domain names?

Yes. After the Seller transfers the domain(s), the Buyer should verify the domain registrant information is reflecting their ownership correctly before authorizing the release of the payment.

It is also recommended that, prior to transfer, the Buyer confirms that the Seller actually owns the domain(s) as well as performs lien and trademark searches; these are services that Escrow.com does not provide (but some Registrars do).
