Yes, but it's getting better.

There are still people out there who announce everything to everyone  
over tunnels. It was much worse in the past but it's important that  
not only the people who do this are encouraged to stop, but also that  
the people who are feeding them cut their BGP feeds off if they don't.

This is all BGP 101 so there is absolutely no reason for this to  
persist, people just have to flip the "test/production" switch on  
their IPv6 stuff in the "production" direction and take away peering  
privileges from well-meaning but clue-challenged amateurs.
