Indeed! Using a private ANS for route server operations is neither recommended nor encouraged in the IX community, although it is not strictly forbidden either. Especially small IXPs (read: a switch in the corner) operated by an organization not involved into routing otherwise and therefore not even in possession of an AS number, might fall back on this option. I don't recall an example out of the top of my head, will do some digging and report back.
