Is there some reason why 65000 is especially problematic ?

65000 and above are private as numbers and should not be seen in the global table.

64512 & above.

Indeed, the reference is RFC 1930 section 10, which says:

10. Reserved AS Numbers

   The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) has reserved the
   following block of AS numbers for private use (not to be advertised
   on the global Internet):

64512 through 65535
