In addition to the BGP community scheme, outbound as-path filters could
help. Most network's list of transit providers is fairly static, it
would be easiy with as-path filters to prevent announcing upstream
routes to other upstreams or peering partners.


Except that this was not a route leak per se.  The announced routes AS_PATH shows them as originated by the offending 
AS, not *propagated* by the offending AS. So the outbound AS_PATH did not retain the upstream portion of the path.
