I think in the past alien/terminator would ignore low TTLs. I seem to
recall something around the 7200 mark. However, I believe this is no
longer the case.
Some ISP's automate the removal of old zones from their DNS servers,
others don't. The others generally just need a gentle prod to the
right people (preferably not this list) to get them removed. The
technical contact in their domain's WHOIS records is generally a good
place to start.
On another DNS note, has the extremely low TTL setting for Facebook A
records caused any issues to other ISPs?

Xtra's alien / terminator were the only real exceptions to this I can recall in recent history. I have no idea if they're still being occasionally weird about caching incorrect records.
I don't think I've (noticed) having a problem with them in a few years.
