This type of attack is mitigated by the MLD state machine.  When a
router receives a Report that signals no more interest in a particular
group it first sends out a group-specific query to ensure that interest
does not exist.  When that query is sent, the target node will respond
that it is still interested.

This would be useful in my opinion.
