Allow IGMP queries on WAN for cable ISP?

Some weeks ago my ISP did some infrastructure upgrades in the area and since then I'm seeing constant IGMP membership queries on WAN to the all-members multicast address (224.0.0.1).  I understand this traffic to be link-local and likely is from the ISP's CMTS for all cable subscribers on the segment.

Should I be allowing these to pass, or is it better to keep dropping?  AFAIK these shouldn't impact our services as we don't subscribe for IPTV.
