I'm seeing AS_PATHs like 6830 6175 109 7018 26415 (Sprint, Cisco, AT&T, Verisign) but a traceroute is going straight from 6830 to AT&T and dying there with !P. That you have no route for A is most probably a filtering issue somewhere... I'm seeing it being propagated by Sprint.
Since I mailed that, 3557 started receiving a covering /48 for A. Maybe there's some operational/maintenance-induced stability issues for those paths.
We've had reports before of F's covering /48 (2001:500::/48) being filtered by some people, based on the conviction that /48s were always bad and should never be accepted by anybody. It's possible that this is biting Verisign, too.
For the record, ARIN assign critical-infrastructure /48s which it is important to accept:

http://www.space.net/~gert/RIPE/ipv6-filters.htmlOperators who are currently blocking any prefix covered by 2001::/16 which is longer than 32 bits are encouraged to review that page, and fix their routers.
