I suppose the only good news is that in IPv6 only ::1/128
is loopback.  So such "interesting" choices will hopefully
not be propagated going forward (and there could come a
time when one learns about IPv4 only in the history books,
and understands some of the choices as lessons learned
(to never do again)).

FD: there was an IETF draft proposal to expand the IPv6
loopback space (but has already expired).
