no.  what an ISP advertises to itself and what it advertises (and accepts)
across ISP boundaries are different things.

there are even better business reasons for filtering such advertisements 
unless the owner of that block of addresses is paying you specifically 
to route them within your network.  that, and the threat of router
overload for ISPs that don't filter such advertisements, should be sufficient.
