You can do whatever you want with that PA assignment. PA means that it's the provider's address space, not yours. You can announce it wherever you want though.

The Wikipedia explanation is flat-out wrong.

How would announcing it elsewhere help with the "Aggregatable" part? Are people accepting advertisements for small PA subnets?

Yes. A /48 of v6 is perfectly announcable.

There is no functional difference between PA and PI.
