        I agree.  It would be interesting to see.

        It actually increases the likeleyhood that they will get
filtered, noticed, and fixed by the owner of the ip space.  If
a few of us filter them, and they start to get used as amplifiers,
they will start to notice a bit more (hopefully) that their
connectivity is starting to suck, by sending out all these icmp 
replies, and track it down.
