but they don't own the space!!!
agreed, they don't own the space. I was supposing they were doing what SwissCom does: Announce /8's or /<largeenoughtonotbotherpeople> routes for currently allocated space, drop announcements inside these except those required to talk to their customers. Hopefully set these no-export so they don't leak outside of 4323. So, given that hypothesis they just have a broken filter somewhere... of course I could be wrong... but I hope I'm not.
