if you look at the cogent LG it's pretty clear that the announce
reachability for the /20 that includes the tpb /32.. and that the /32 is
particularly routed elsewhere, and that the 'elsewhere' is coming form a

so... err, either someone fat-fingered OR intentionally entered a /32 into
the config management system :(
