Actually, if you look at this article it even clearly advises:

To create the block locator hashes, keep pushing hashes until you go back to the genesis block. After pushing 10 hashes back, the step backwards doubles every loop
Yeah, you are only at block 236k+, so just keep pushing all the hashes, starting from the top, until you reach the genesis block - a brilliant idea What's wrong with this? It sounds to me like you don't understand the purpose of the locators.
I believe that I understand the purpose of the locators very well - and that is why my implementation always sends only one locator... which surely does not point to a genesis block, while I am already at #236475. The only reason to send a locator pointing to a genesis block, in such a case, would be to "recover" from 4+ years long lasting fork... so whoever does that, I think he doesn't understand the purpose of the locators.
