What's the *problem* here?  If you hand out your /32 in chunks of /48s
to your customers, and the /32 is full, it is *full* - and you're entitled
to get more space.

So why is this considered a problem?

(For us, we're likely never going to fill our /32, so it doesn't really
matter what size of block we hand out to customers - and for networks
where this matters, it really should be a matter of having a proper
address plan presented to the RIPE NCC.  Now, if the NCC denies a request
based on "we don't do /48s here, assign /56s to your customers!" that
would certainly something to escalate)
