They do internal aggregation of common prefixes to keep their internal
tables small, see for instance this rather old preso:

http://www.swinog.ch/meetings/swinog7/BGP_filtering-swinog.ppt

These prefixes should of course not be leaked outside their own network.

I would say, kick them either directly (yell offlist if you want direct
contacts) or spam the SwiNOG list and you will get a response quickly too.
