I see this as purely an operational issue.

ARIN explicitly does not guarantee routability of prefixes it assigns.

This is a case of ARIN knowingly assigning unusable space to customers.
There's a huge difference there.

If service providers choose to filter ARIN allocations, then that is an
operational decision.  I really don't see what action you expect ARIN to
take along these lines.

Assign him some temporarly space in a usable block while he tries to get the
offending ASs to fix their filters, and stop assigning out of 69/8 until it
actually works.  This isn't rocket science.
