Is it permissible, from a policy perspective, for a multi-homed end user to announce the numbering resource allocation received from one RIR (for discussion purposes, let's say ARIN) to upstream service providers in a different region (for example, in the RIPE region)?

There are probably thousands if not tens of thousands of prefixes announced in multiple regions, or even just different regions then they were allocated. Perfectly normal. -- Leo Bicknell - bicknell@ufp.org - CCIE 3440 PGP keys at http://www.ufp.org/~bicknell/
