Roleclaiming as a last ditch defense for a lynch is pretty annoying with no prior evidence to support you and creates a WIFOM. I have mixed feelings about mass roleclaiming, though - it's useful to an extent, but, ESPECIALLY in themed games with major/famous characters, it can almost make things too easy for the town to get ahead. When you know there are x amount of noteworthy characters on either side (for example, let's say Pokemon Gym Leaders, where you KNOW there will be 8) any roleclaims of minor characters become instantly suspicious and any uncountered claims of major characters become almost instant innocence.
True, I neglected the fact that even counting the lack of Gaia having a power here it's still almost obvious how many people are on the town's side.
