...and when you are trying to debug AS112 stuff you normally also want
to try to run this:

--snip
# dig +short txt hostname.as112.arpa
"Unique IP: 91.206.52.250 / 2001:7f8:24::fa"
"See http://as112.net/ for more information."
"AS112 at SwissIX, http://www.swissix.ch, Zurich, Switzerland"
--snap

This will surface the name of the node you are ending up with. Running a
traceroute will probably not help so much because, as you already
correctly stated, this is an anycasted ip-address. It may point you into
the right direction, but it might as well misguide you.
