Or is that just an artifact

Its an artefact of the s/w implementation. I imagine once they work out how
to do this in the portal, this will be changed.

Yes. The following template is used:

Dear (ASN custodian),

This is to inform you that the following route/route6 object has been
registered in the APNIC Whois Database with your AS number referenced in
the "origin" attribute.

---
insert route object
---

The IP addresses holder has asked that APNIC help register this route
object in the APNIC Whois database.

If you believe your AS number should not be referenced as the "origin" in
this route object, please contact us by replying to this email.

Kind Regards,

======
cheers
