It looks like this was resolved once in the past, and I am seeing it announced as a /32 from AS34164 currently:

Announced By
Origin AS	Announcement	Description
AS20940	2a02:26f0:000c::/48	Akamai Technologies

Less Specific Announcements

AS34164	2a02:26f0::/32	Akamai Technologies

Nick, I believe Jeroen is commenting that he sees only /48s and not the less-specific /32, leading to brokenness in ASNs which filter /48s from PA allocations.  However as mentioned above, this does not seem to be the case from my point of view (the pastes above are from bgp.he.net)
