Doesn't last long since the chance of collision is high. It then becomes a VPN.
I know for a fact that an extremely large tier 1 routed RFC1918 address space for an extremely large cable company at one time (and no, I don't mean 2547 or anything like that). I have no idea if this is still occurring, but when this very large cable company needed to use more private addresses they actually would ask the tier 1 for an assignment in order to avoid collision.
I don't see the problem with ULA though, sure, someone will route it, but not everyone, just those getting paid to. It's actually the perfect solution to routing table bloat as there is a financial relationship between the parties that announce space and the networks that carry it.
