Cisco routers are frequently used in enterprise networks, which may use
RFC1918 internally. Again, not a good thing to auto-magically do for
naive network managers. RFC1918 addresses may or may not be legitimate
depending on your network, just like "no ip classless" and the NSA
security guide.
I would not classify RFC1918 as "Martian" addresses.
Of course, if all network equipment did source address validation by
default, you wouldn't need bogon filters.
