John,

ARIN recently implemented the "PIv6 for legacy holders with RSA and 
efficient use" policy that was intended to fix this.  Under that policy, 
you should be able to sign an LRSA covering your /24, demonstrate you're 
efficiently using it, and you should be good to go.

If you haven't submitted an application for IPv6 space from ARIN in the 
last month or two, I would give it another shot under the new policy.  If 
you run into any trouble, I'd be very interested to hear the details.
