I've even seen at a previous place (note: 'previous') that decided to use 40.x.x.x for their internal IP space....
I find it hard to believe a company can mismanage their IP space that 10.0.0.0, 192.168.0.0, and 172.(16-31).0.0 are all used up, but then again, I shouldn't be surprised. Back in '96 or so, an ISP I was working at was giving out /24's for a 14.4 dialup account....
