Before you throw too many stones, these guys (I happen to know) take transit from UUnet, and not, before you ask, over the MAE. Personally I don't see a problem with this behaviour as a last resort.
If they buy transit, or do not buy transit from UUNet makes no difference. You don't see a problem with pointing default at UUNet or any other provider? This trace was to a network that did not exist, so it should not have been sent to UUNet.
