Perhaps it should send back the icmp packet from a loopback interface that has a publically routed ip on it. that would allow p-mtu to work as well as you'd get the packet saying frag-needed and you can still get a general idea of what route the packets are taking (although not the specific interface). it would allow people involved to look at their lsp routes or forwarding tables to determine where the fault is without revelaing information they would rather not about their infrastructure. "ip icmp response-interface loopback0" junipers already do this if you traceroute directly to them (ie: they're the last hop in the traceroute) and send back the packet from their lo interface if you have 'default-address-selection' configured.
