Any advantage of announcing IPv6/64s Or purely misconfiguration?

Hello everyone
I was just looking around and say a major Indian provider Sify (AS9583) is
announcing /64s via BGP along with main /32 which is their allocation from
APNIC.
inet6num: 2001:0E48::/32
netname: SILNET
descr: Sify Limited
descr: Value Added Network service provider
country: IN
admin-c: HS51-AP
tech-c: HS51-AP
status: ALLOCATED PORTABLE
mnt-by: APNIC-HM
mnt-lower: MAINT-IN-SIFY
changed: hm-changed at apnic.net 20040211
changed: hm-changed at apnic.net 20060117
source: APNIC
As per IPv6 prefixes announced by AS9583 via bgp.he.net -
http://bgp.he.net/AS9583#_prefixes6 we can see multiple /64s.
Prefix <http://bgp.he.net/AS9583#>Description <http://bgp.he.net/AS9583#>
2001:0e48::/32 <http://bgp.he.net/net/2001:0e48::/32>Sify Limited

I see Tata Comm (Sify's upstream) is accepting /64s while Tinet (one of
other upstream) is dropping and taking only /32. Other major backbones like
HE, Level3 dropping but Telia still accepting. Pretty much mixed result.
Is it simply a misconfiguration or there is some use of announcing /64s
along with main /32?
Thanks.
