This means, thatdealings with opening multiple LIR's, get their /22 allocation and merge this 'new lir's' with other 'host lir' is now in progress at full throttle :(
Indeed, this person appears to be using the LIR merger procedure, *not* the transfer procedure, to gather the /22s in his main LIR. At least I could not find any of the blocks in question mentioned on <https://www.ripe.net/manage-ips-and-asns/resource-transfers-and-mergers/ipv4-transfers/table-of-transfers>.
Which probbaly means revising the text of 2015-01, and/or adding something similar to the merger procedure. Then again, some basic "needs checking" (checking that the requestor DOES NEED an allocation) would probably help too.
"Need" shouldn't be a criteria anymore, as we're in "scarcity-mode"/"run-out" mode... One idea could be: «If the LIR doesn't have any other IPv4 allocation made by the RIPE/NCC (before the run-out phase) besides the /22, if a merge process is needed, the /22 is automatically returned to the pool».
