One of the routing gears on the path don't like the large community inside those routes maybe ? :)
By the way we currently see 2620:6e:a002::/48 at LINX LON1 from Choopa and HE...

Yea, I did try that on that test prefix but it just stuck around anyway.. I don't care too much, its just some stale 
test prefix.

Sadly, I now see it again with 2620:6e:a002::/48, which, somewhat more impressively, is now generating a routing loop 
Ashburn <-> NYC, and has always been announced from other places has was dropped/re-announced as wel.

Must just be something with my particular prefixes, oh well.

Their (nice) LG shows that it's still advertised from a router of theirs in Frankfurt (iBGP next hop 
::ffff:2.255.251.224 – so by the way they use 6PE).
Your best option would probably be to re-advertise the exact same prefix, then re-withdraw it, then yell at Telia's 
NOC if it fails...
Some years ago we experienced something similar (it was a router of TI Sparkle still advertising a prefix of us in 
Asia to their clients, that they were previously receiving from our former transit GTT – we were advertising it in 
Europe...).

Has anyone else experienced issues where Telia won't withdraw (though will happily accept an overriding) prefixes 
for the past week, at least?

eg 2620:6e:a003::/48 was a test prefix and should not now appear in any DFZ, has not been announced for a few days 
at least, but shows up in Telia's LG and RIPE RIS as transiting Telia. Telia's LG traceroute doesn't of course, go 
anywhere, traces die immediately after a hop or with a !N.

Wouldn't be a problem except that I needed to withdraw another route due to a separate issue which wouldn't budge 
out of Telia's tables until it was replaced with something else of higher pref.
