I'd agree to that.

response to packets for IPs that are not currently active in the pool.
makes sense.
If so I would try to clean it up and submit to code
review.
please do, thanks!
Also if in agreement, would it be worth making it
switchable via a vty
param? I am thinking of where one might not want the IP space to be
probable, although I would assume that kind of thing is best left to the
local firewall implementation.
I think the GGSN "function" should not implement firewall policy.
However, given that generating and discarding a potentially very large
amount of ICMP host unreachable messages can consume a significant amount
of resources, I guess a vty option might make sense.
