Are you talking about a route that is created and vanishes every few seconds or minutes? I would guess some kind of hysteresis would be okay. Activate a prefix if you had a route for X seconds... deactivate it if you loose it for X seconds. Still, assigning a source IP address without a route to it is a bad thing, some client applications might just keep trying instead of moving to a different source address.
