I think the point here is that IANA no longer assign to orgs(and somewhat
transferred initial legacy spaces maintenance to RIR) and since they now
only assign to RIRs the records already reflects the relevant assignments.
If there is any regular update that is required, it will/should be at the
RIR level because there is apparently no major changes that will happen at
/8 level. [1]

This seem to negate your call for IANA to update its records; because i
think your scenario above would have been a good example. Nevertheless, i
also agree that "how IANA maintain whois record is definitely not within
the IANA oversight scope" but rather an operation/policy issue. (though it
doesn't hurt discussing it for all its worth)

1. Speaking about who maintains legacy spaces, it may be good to note that
its been raised by region members why its not "just" to maintain legacy
spaces with paying members money.
