It is (or was) fairly commonly in use among internal nets which
overflowed RFC 1918 or have to internetwork with other heavy users of
RFC 1918 space. I know of at least two service providers and one cell
network who were using it for that 3 years ago.
Someone leaking internal routes for such? Or attempt to hijack the space?
Only the Shadow knows...
