Don't present such packets to the router.
i.e. if you are working in an identifier space that has no locator
overtones (I have already seen the assertion that these identifiers are
"non-routeable"), then how exactly will these identity values show up in a
packet on the wire and be presented to routers are a destination or source
locator?

How would a router know not to forward such packets, in the event the
top 64 bits clash with a real IPv6 address?
