Then that cellular operator is extremely small and only has less than 128k 
users.

3GPP mandates /64 per PDP context. That's what mobile operators use.

I know operator who allocate new pools to their GGSNs in chunks of /44s, 
ie covering a million users at a time.

/40 is not much, is one 1/256th of the default allocation you get by just 
showing up and saying "hello, I am LIR and I want to use IPv6".
