I am curious how LIRs that employ 6RD today plan to motivate their need
for the 15 extra /32:s they would be allocated following the example
above, with the /28-instead-of-/32, once the 6RD transition phase is
complete.

IIRC RIPE are currently spacing their /32 assignments on a /29 basis.

Eg, 
anticimex at hsa:~$ for i in `seq 0 8`; do whois 2a02:9a$i::/32 | egrep
'(inet6num|netname)' ; done
inet6num:       2a02:9a0::/32
netname:        SE-SCS-20090203
inet6num:       2a00::/12
netname:        EU-ZZ-2A00
[...]
inet6num:       2a02:9a8::/32
netname:        IT-SPIN-20090204

I guess that it would be trivial to fall back to the first /32, or
whatever less-than-6RD-inflated prefix you had before, once the
transition is over, as long as the LIR plans ahead accordingly.
