Who 'allowed' you to announce the /19 when you had a /20 of it? ARIN, at least to us, has been clear on not announcing what isn't assigned.
It is likely this was an allocation made under ARIN's multi-homed policy in 1998. In 1998, ARIN's minimum allocation size was a /19. Organizations approved under the multi-homed policy, at that time, were allocated a /20 and allowed to announce the /19. In 1999, ARIN's minimum allocation size was reduced to a /20. Organizations receiving allocations made under the multi-homed policy following this change are only allowed to announce the /20.

Who 'allowed' you to announce the /19 when you had a /20 of it? ARIN, at least to us, has been clear on not announcing what isn't assigned.In the spirit of full disclosure, we were being boneheads and using addresses in the reserved space under the mistaken assumption that since we were being allowed to advertise the whole /19, andhad intentto use it, and were going to ask for the other side, it wasOK to usethat space. Not so. It would have been nice if ARIN had dropped an automated note to the effect of, "Hey, you've got x months to apply for thisspace before were-assign it."
