Oh sorry, I missed your point.  This may not be a real worry though. 
I know the AS number in question (it's used as a backup here when our 
primary relay goes down), and they don't seem to actually advertise 
the /32 anywhere (because otherwise it'd be used all the time), or 
everyone is rejecting it (which folks should be doing anyway -- I know 
of no one accepting /32's from eBGP peers).

I guess they're just dumping the contents of their iBGP to route-views 
or something.
