There is nothing unusual about announcing PA address space, even if it's
not yours (as long as the LIR in question permits it), so your customer
should simply go ahead and request for an AS (well, only LIR's can
request an AS, but there is nothing wrong with a LIR requesting one for
a customer). The LIR would then make the assignment origin in the
customer's AS.
However, you might want to make your customer sign a legal contract to
clearify this point, i.e. that the address space belongs to the LIR, not
the customer, in case they want to switch to another upstream provider.
